Comment

A rooster, in full force of its strength, seems to move and almost strut in the center of the composition below which, between its claws, is the value of the coin. The virility it expresses symbolizes the full possession of one's personality and freedom and, above all, the non-renunciation of decision-making power and the refusal to entrust one's destiny to others.
