| Reverse description | The reverse presents an innovative international monetary conversion design in which a rope divides the field into six equal segments radiating from a central cartouche. The central area bears the inscriptions 16.72 over GRAMS over 900 FINE over UBIQUE, establishing the coin's weight, fineness, and universal monetary aspiration. Each outer segment displays a foreign currency equivalent: DOLLARS / 10, STERLING / £2·1·1, MARKEN / 41·99, KRONEN / 37·31, GULDEN / 20·73, and FRANCS / 51·81, reflecting the pattern's role as a proposal for an international coinage standard. The design is attributed to Dana Bickford and embodies the broader nineteenth-century movement toward global monetary harmonization. |
