Embossed edge, decorated with dashed ring. In the center, similar simulation of the Coat of Arms of the United States of America. But with the shield facing the eagle with a slightly different appearance; the arrows are in the left claw and the bay branches in the right claw; the track with the legend E. PLURIBUS UNUM, passes before the left wing and hides behind the right wing; above the head of the eagle there are thirteen six-pointed stars arranged in three semi-circles surmounted by a cloud in a straight line. Above the clouds, the caption: GOLDEN STATE MINT. The left, the caption: 1/2 OUNCE .999. To the right, the caption: FINE COPPER.
