Visual Description

A single hand emerges from a bank of clouds, gripping an upright sword whose blade points toward the sky. A golden crown encircles the tip of the sword, and from it hang a sprig of laurel with red berries and a long green palm frond. Rays of light or a sunburst glow from behind the hand and sword, and several small leaf-like shapes float in the air. Low mountains sit along the bottom horizon and a decorative blue floral border frames the card; the numeral "1" appears at the top.
