| Reverse description | A symmetrical wreath of laurel and olive branches, tied at the base, frames the central device. Within the wreath, a small circular silver plug occupies the center, with the denomination ONE CENT inscribed around it. Below the wreath, the fraction 1/100 appears in the exergue, denoting the cent's relation to the dollar. The surrounding legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA runs along the outer periphery, separated from the wreath by the reeded border. The design is characteristic of early American pattern coinage, combining classical motifs with a functional bimetallic concept. |
