Obverse: Two different flowers growing intertwined within vase; Reverse: Two heart-shaped locks, locked to each other. A VERY RARE and interesting medallic issue pertaining to the bonds of marriage, this near-Mint specimen glistens with great brilliance and an olive-yellow hue upon each side. The obverse indicates the close bond of two and the growth through togetherness, while the reverse allegorically illustrates the connected nature of two hearts.
