| Reverse description | A two-masted sailing ship is depicted in profile, its sails billowing, occupying the majority of the reverse field. The letter S appears to the left of the vessel and the letter I to the right, together likely referencing the Sommer Islands, the early colonial designation for Bermuda. The design is enclosed within a beaded border consistent with the hammered technique employed throughout this coinage. The crude but vigorous engraving reflects the primitive production methods characteristic of this extraordinarily rare early colonial series. |
