| Reverse description | Within a raised circular border, the denomination ONE STIVER is inscribed in two lines across the centre of a recessed disc. The surrounding annular field bears the promotional legend PURE COPPER PREFERABLE TO PAPER, separated by a central dot, all contained within a beaded outer border. The design is entirely typographic, with no figurative imagery, emphasising the utilitarian and monetary advocacy character of this emergency issue. |
