| Reverse description | Seated female figure of Liberty facing left, enthroned, holding a long staff or cane surmounted by a Liberty cap in her right hand and an olive branch extended in her left. The figure is rendered in classical allegorical style. The date 1787 appears in the lower field, with over-date varieties known (1787 over 1877 or 1787 over 1887). The legend IND ET LIB, an abbreviation for Independentia et Libertas (Independence and Liberty), arcs around the upper portion of the design within a beaded border. |
