| Reverse description | A seated female figure, representing Liberty, is depicted facing right in the center of the field, resting her left arm on a large globe and holding an upright anchor staff in her right hand. A crowned lion passant, symbolizing British heraldic tradition, crouches to the lower left of the central figure. The surrounding legend 'INDEP ET LIBER' is distributed along the upper periphery separated by pellets, with the date '1787' inscribed along the lower exergue. The overall composition conveys themes of independence and liberty central to the post-Revolutionary American context. |
