| Obverse description | Draped bust of Liberty facing left, with the letter 'G' positioned below the effigy and the date at the bottom of the field. Thirteen small flowers are arranged around the periphery, forming a decorative border typical of California fractional gold issues. The design is rendered in low relief characteristic of privately produced territorial gold coinage. |
