| Reverse description | The reverse of the host coin is entirely plain and featureless as a result of the surcharging process, with the original design of the base penny or halfpenny having been completely obliterated or left unmodified. The copper surface displays extensive green patination and natural age-related corrosion consistent with prolonged circulation and environmental exposure. No legends, devices, or inscriptions are present. The field shows scattered surface marks, pitting, and die flow lines from the original host coin's manufacture. |
