| Reverse description | A small, naturalistic eagle with outstretched wings is depicted in flight across the central field, its head turned upward and talons extended, rendered with fine feather detail. The denomination HALF DISME appears in two lines in the lower field beneath the eagle, with a small five-pointed star below in the exergue. The peripheral legend UNI . STATES OF AMERICA arcs around the upper and lateral portions of the coin, separated from the toothed border by a narrow rim. The overall composition is spare and boldly lettered, characteristic of the experimental coinage of 1792. |
