| Obverse description | A dove in flight occupies the central field, depicted with wings fully spread and head turned to the right, holding an olive branch in its beak — a symbol of peace associated with the London Missionary Society's evangelical mission. The bird is rendered in moderately high relief with fine feather detailing, set against a plain, unadorned field. The coin bears no legend or inscription on this side. The entire design is enclosed within a toothed or milled border running along the coin's rim. |
