| Obverse description | Mailed bust of a male figure facing left, wearing classical armour with a draped pauldron visible at the truncation. The head is adorned with a laurel wreath from which a distinctive upward-projecting horn or spike protrudes at the forehead, giving this variety its 'Horned Bust' designation. The hair is rendered in flowing locks beneath the wreath. The peripheral Latin legend AUCTORI* CONNECT* arcs around the bust, reading 'By the authority of Connecticut,' with pellet stops separating the abbreviated words. |
