| Reverse description | A stylized ornamental tree, likely a palm tree, depicted in bold low relief at the center of the field, with sweeping frond-like branches radiating symmetrically from a central trunk and curling volutes at the base suggesting roots or ground. A small shield or cartouche device appears at the crown of the tree. The design fills most of the flan and is executed in the crude, vigorous style characteristic of hammered colonial copper issues. The irregular edge shows the typical planchet roughness of this series. No legend or inscription is present on this side. |
