| Obverse description | The obverse features a twelve-spoked wheel at the center of the field, rendered in bold relief. A pointing hand (manicula) is positioned at the lower portion of the coin, directing attention to the word THE in the surrounding legend. The peripheral legend reads THE. WHEELE. GOES. ROUND. in capital letters, encircling the central device. The design is characteristic of the primitive engraving style associated with American colonial copper coinage of the early eighteenth century. |
