| Obverse description | Draped bust of Colonel Percy Kirk facing left, with curled wig, occupying the central field. The portrait is rendered in a bold, slightly naive style characteristic of late 18th-century evasion token manufacture. The surrounding legend reads COLONEL KIRK, disposed in capital letters along the upper periphery of the coin. |
