| Reverse description | The allegorical figure of Liberty is depicted seated upon a globe at center, draped and shown in a three-quarter pose, her figure boldly rendered in the primitive engraving style characteristic of colonial American pattern coinage. The Latin legend DEFENSOR LIBERTATIS, meaning 'Defender of Liberty,' runs along the lower periphery of the field. The design reflects the patriotic iconography of the American Revolutionary period, with the globe symbolizing universal liberty. The specimen shown bears a suspension hole at right, indicating later use as a pendant or token. |
