| Obverse lettering | E PLURIBUS UNUM LIBERTY 1879 (Translation: Out of Many, One Liberty 1879) |
| Reverse description | The reverse features a purely typographic, concentric design with no central device, conveying the proposed goloid metric coinage specifications. The outermost legend reads UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the upper periphery, with GOLOID METRIC DOLLAR inscribed in a secondary arc below. Concentric rings of six-pointed stars frame the central field, which displays the alloy composition in three lines: 15.3 — G. (gold), 236.7 — S. (silver), and 28 — C. (copper), followed by 14 GRAMS. The lower legend reads DEO EST GLORIA (Glory is to God), and 100 CENTS appears at the very base, emphasizing the coin's metric and decimal monetary concept. |
