(indicating 20 carats) inscribed below. The circular legend 'NORTH CAROLINA GOLD.' runs around the periphery, with individual letters separated by dots. The entire design is bordered by a prominent raised beaded circle, with a secondary beaded border near the rim, characteristic of Bechtler's utilitarian private coinage style. |
