Reverse description Central field depicts a female figure, rendered in a naturalistic Art Nouveau-influenced style, kneeling or crouching amid a sheaf of wheat or grain stalks held in her raised arms, symbolizing agricultural prosperity. The large numeral 1 appears to the left of the figure in the field, denoting the denomination. The engraver's signature O. ŠPANIEL appears in the lower portion of the field. The overall composition reflects Španiel's characteristic sculptural approach to coin design.
