That's a very nice coin.
I have seen very few coins depicting ploughs.The obverse of this coin depicts one behind the seed sower.

Thanks Aidan. Your right, about ploughs not being common on coins. Another example of a plough being on a coin was from Socialist Ethiopia. The plough was on the Ethiopian state arms during the early years of Marxist leader Mengistu Haile Mariam, and the arms appeared on a couple of proof coins for this country.

Daniel,
That's very interesting,as Communist Ethiopia actually issued very few circulating commemorative coins.As for Mengistu Haile Mariam,he is now living in exile in Zimbabwe,courtesy of Robert 'Crackpot Bob' Mugabe.
The Republic of Ireland also put out 10 & 20 Euros depicting ploughs to commemorate the famous 'Ploughman' banknotes.They are very expensive gold & silver medal-coins.
I do have a couple of 1/2 Penny currency tokens from Prince Edward Island depicting ploughs in my collection.
Aidan.
