| Obverse description | High-relief allegorical composition set against a rocky background: a standing draped female figure representing Science raises a lamp aloft with her right hand, radiating beams of light, while a kneeling bare-chested miner swings a long-handled hammer at her feet. A second hammer lies on the ground in the lower field. The design is framed by a beaded border. |
