Visual Description
A nearly bare-chested figure in a green cap and short skirt leans on a long-handled shovel, digging into earth with one foot braced on the blade. Above him sit a stylized sun at the upper left and a star with droplets at the upper right, while small stars and flowers dot the landscape. Beneath the dug soil lie eight gold coins arranged in a clustered row, each bearing a face. The border shows the Roman numeral VIII at top and the title EIGHT·OF·COINS along the bottom.
