A portion of the globe centered on Europe with thick meridian and parallels outlined. In the inner disc five folded papers are above the map around the border, creating a window in shape of a five-pointed star above the Europe. In the outer ring are the value below, with name of the author right above it, but in the disc. The date is vertical on the left, while the mintmark is at right.
