From mint: "Love of freedom. Three seagulls hover in the wind with their beaks and eyes directed towards a distant horizon. Their powerful flight rises up from barbed wire which borders the lower exergue in which the coin value is inscribed. Man's eternal yearning for freedom is entrusted to their outspread wings."
