| Obverse description | Oblong incuse counterstamp applied diagonally across the center of the host coin's field, bearing the legend NEVIS in raised Latin capitals within a rectangular punch. The counterstamp was applied by Nevis colonial authorities to validate the host coin for local circulation, and is clearly visible overstruck upon the host coin's central devices. |
