A winged genius, identifiable by a star on his head representing the North Star, stands to her right and presents an unrolled map inscribed with geographic names including NORVEGIA, DANIA, ITALIA, and GRACIA. Books, scrolls, and additional maps are scattered on the ground. The legend VINCET AMOR PATRIAE arches across the upper field, and a three-line inscription in the exergue records the issuing society and date. |
