| Obverse description | Central device depicting a three-masted sailing vessel under full sail, oriented to the left, rendered in moderate relief above a baseline representing the sea. The circular legend SHIPS COLONIES AND COMMERCE arcs around the periphery, with the date 1815 positioned in the exergue below the ship. A beaded border frames the entire design, separating the legend from the outer rim. |
