Obverse description Crudely struck, poorly defined laureate effigy of George III facing left, entirely lacking facial detail due to the rudimentary nature of the die workmanship. Faint traces of what appear to be remnants of a legend are visible behind the head, though the inscription is wholly illegible. The overall execution is characteristic of a primitive imitation piece, with the flat, featureless field surrounding the bust offering no additional design elements. This uniface piece bears no reverse type, confirming its emergency or makeshift monetary function.

Reverse description Completely blank reverse field with no design, legend, or device of any kind, consistent with the uniface nature of this emergency imitation piece. The plain copper surface shows only minor die-related marks and the natural texture of the struck planchet.
