| Reverse description | Central device depicts a running jackass (donkey) facing left in high relief, a satirical allusion to President Andrew Jackson as Van Buren's 'illustrious predecessor.' The legend 'I FOLLOW IN THE STEPS OF MY ILLUSTRIOUS PREDECESSOR' surrounds the device, with the word 'STEPS' appearing in the lower field beneath the animal. The border features a beaded rim with small rosette stops separating the legend. |
