| Reverse description | A full-color depiction of the three-masted sailing vessel Mayflower under full sail, navigating turbulent open seas against a dramatically lit sky rendered in vivid polychrome enamel. A Union flag flies from the mainmast, while a ship's wheel motif appears in white to the right of the vessel. An inner beaded border frames the composition, with the legend MAYFLOWER arcing along the upper periphery and the date 1620 inscribed at the lower border, both in raised Latin capitals. |
