| Obverse description | Central device depicts a turtle carrying a large open chest or trunk on its back, striding over a branch or log, serving as a satirical reference to President Van Buren's Sub-Treasury policy. The legend EXECUTIVE arcs across the top and EXPERIMENT arcs across the bottom, with FISCAL AGENT and the date 1837 in the lower field. Small floral ornaments appear at left and right within a beaded border. |
