Reverse symbol

To the left and right are allegorical representations of two young women, both in white dresses with a white veil on their heads. The woman on the left holds a sheaf of wheat and a sickle. The woman on the right holds a sword and a shield with the coat of arms of Yugoslavia. Both are holding twigs with the other hand, the left one olive and the right one laurel. The symbolism is clear: agriculture and work are the guarantors of security that establish, maintain and protect peace and justice. In the middle below the watermark is a double-headed white eagle with spread wings with the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in a shield on the chest. Grapevine, apples and flowers are shown.
