| Reverse description | A seated female allegorical figure, representing Liberty, is shown facing left, holding a long staff or cane surmounted by a Phrygian liberty cap in her right hand, and an olive branch in her extended left hand. The figure is rendered in a classical style typical of late 18th-century American colonial coinage. The date 1787 appears within the circular reverse legend INDE. ET LIB., an abbreviation of 'Independentia et Libertas' (Independence and Liberty). |
