| Obverse description | A hog passant to the left occupies the central field, enclosed within a plain inner circle. The denomination numeral XII appears above the animal within the circle. The surrounding legend SOMMER ISLANDS XII runs along the outer periphery, bordered by a beaded or toothed rim. The primitive, naively engraved style is characteristic of the earliest coinage struck for the Somers Isles (Bermuda), representing one of the first coins produced for an English colonial territory. |

| Reverse description | A three-masted sailing ship is depicted in profile occupying the full field, rendered in a simple, archaic engraving style consistent with early 17th-century colonial coinage. The vessel displays three billowing sails set upon its masts, with rigging lines visible, and a hull rendered in low relief. No legend appears on the reverse. The composition fills the flan without a border circle, with the ship's hull anchoring the lower portion of the design. |
