| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely blank, presenting a plain, unadorned field with no design, legend, or inscriptions of any kind. This blank reverse is consistent with the coin's status as an obverse trial piece, struck solely to assess the obverse portrait and legend before a reverse design was approved. The surface displays rich iridescent toning across the field, with hues ranging from deep copper-red to blue and violet, indicative of the tin-brass alloy and the age of the piece. No exergue, date, or denomination is present on this side. |
