| Reverse description | The reverse presents the denomination HALF DIME in two lines at the center of the field, enclosed within an open wreath of olive branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The wreath opens at the top, where the two branches meet but do not interlock. The circular legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA runs along the upper periphery from left to right, contained within a dentilated border. The overall design is restrained and typographically bold, consistent with the mid-19th century American coinage aesthetic. |
