| Reverse description | The reverse features the denomination 20 CENTS and the date 1865 displayed in three bold lines within the central field, enclosed by an ornate wreath of stylized leaves and berries tied at the base, surrounded by a beaded inner circle. A further wreath of interlacing branches frames the composition near the periphery, the whole contained within a dentilated border. The design is deeply struck on a highly polished field, characteristic of a specimen or proof pattern striking. The composition is symmetrical and restrained, with no mint mark present. |
