| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of Liberty with elaborately coiffed hair, rendered in high relief in the style of California fractional gold coinage. The hair is styled in tight curls at the nape and bound with a ribbon or fillet, with ringlets falling at the neck. Nine five-pointed stars are arranged around the periphery of the coin, with five stars to the left and four to the right of the effigy. The milled border frames the design with fine reeding. |
