The sculpture on the coin is an eagle with its wings partially spread and head turned to one side. It is made of a warm, coppery-gold material and set in high relief on a circular surface resembling a coin. Surrounding the eagle are background elements including clouds and rays of sunlight. Above the eagle is an inscription, "VIS VS ET ANIMVS IDEM," arched along the edge. The piece is detailed, with texturing suggesting feathers, clouds, and landscape features, giving it an intricate appearance.
