| Obverse description | Obverse die trial with entirely blank fields, devoid of any effigy, legend, or device. A central circular perforation pierces the planchet. The rim is raised and well-defined, consistent with a milled trial striking. The plain field shows the characteristic surface of an unworked die face. |
