| Obverse description | Draped bust of a figure facing right, laureate with ribboned hair, depicted in a bold and somewhat crude colonial style consistent with American state coinage of the 1780s. The portrait occupies the majority of the field, with visible drapery at the truncation. The surrounding legend reads AUCTORI. CONNEC, distributed around the periphery. The coin exhibits a toothed or dentilated border encircling the entire design. |
