At her feet the vast ocean enjoys her sultry gaze. On the reverse, the eagle stands on a rock with his wings outstretched and holds a shield in one claw, in his beak the motto waves proudly on a long banner. Minor hairlines in the fields and untoned. The devices are nicely frosted and this is an appealing proof coin for the collector.
