| Reverse description | A wreath of laurel or olive branches, open at the top and tied at the base, frames the central denomination inscription. The denomination legend 'HALF DOLLAR' appears in two lines within the wreath, with 'CAL' inscribed below, serving as an abbreviation for California. A small five-pointed star surmounts the wreath at the top, and the overall composition is characteristic of California fractional gold tokens of the period. |
