Visual Description
A bare-chested man in a tattered red skirt and blue sash leans on a long hoe, bent forward as he inspects a tall green vine. Seven golden pentacle coins hang among the leaves like fruit, and one coin rests near the base in the foreground. The ground is dry and rocky, with sparse grasses and low rolling hills under a pale sky in the distance. At the top a cartouche shows the Roman numeral VII and a ribbon with Cyrillic lettering runs along the bottom.
