| Reverse description | The central field displays the date 1662 above the Roman numeral denomination II, both rendered in bold, primitive lettering typical of Massachusetts hammered silver coinage. An inner beaded circle frames the central devices, with the legend NEW ENGLAND distributed around the periphery. The flan is irregular in shape, consistent with hand-cut planchets used in early colonial mint production. |
