Beschrijving keerzijde	The reverse displays the date 1652 prominently in the central field, with the Roman numeral XII (denoting twelve pence, or one shilling) below, all within an inner beaded circle. The peripheral legend NEW ENGLAND AN DOM encircles the design, referencing Anno Domini and the colonial jurisdiction. The lettering is bold and irregular, consistent with hand-engraved dies of the period, and the planchet edges are uneven due to the hammered production method. Three pellets appear at the base of the legend on some die varieties. The overall composition is characteristic of the Massachusetts silver coinage series produced at the Hull-Sanderson mint in Boston.
