Visual Description
A muscular, bearded man sits on a low stool beside an anvil, holding a large round shield embossed with a human face. He wears a blue drape around his waist and a simple cap, and grips a hammer or axe in his left hand. To his right a carved column is inset with multiple gold pentacles, and additional coins appear on a ribboned banner at the bottom. In the distance a river winds through hills toward a walled town with towers under a pale sky; the Roman numeral VIII is displayed at the top.
