| Obverse description | A large six-pointed star dominates the central field, with a raised single-line border tracing its outline. At the center of the star sits a heraldic shield bearing vertical stripes surmounted by a horizontal bar, engraved in relief. The circular legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA runs along the periphery, with the date positioned at the bottom of the field below the star. The overall design, engraved by James B. Longacre, is rendered in a clean neoclassical style with crisp, well-defined relief elements. |
