| Reverse description | The denomination 50 CENTS is displayed in two lines at the center of the field, fully encircled by an ornate agricultural wreath composed of corn, wheat, and oak leaves and acorns, tied at the base with a ribbon. The wreath elements are rendered in high relief with exceptional detail, reflecting the experimental artistic quality typical of United States pattern issues. A beaded inner border follows the coin's periphery. |
