| Reverse description | A steampunk-themed hobo fantasy engraving replacing the original obverse portrait with an intricate mechanical tableau. The field is dominated by a complex arrangement of interlocking gears, cogs, and watch movement components rendered in high relief, evoking the inner workings of a pocket watch. A small sun-like motif with radiating spokes occupies the upper central area, surrounded by various sized gear wheels, screws, and organic scroll elements. The legend LIBERTY arcs along the right periphery, and the date 1937 is inscribed at the lower field. The rim is decorated with a continuous border of raised bosses. |
