| Obverse description | Plain essai obverse bearing the hand-inscribed signature of engraver Hal Reed across the center of the field, accompanied by the individual serial number 2/500 below, confirming this piece as number two of a limited proof edition of five hundred. The surface is otherwise unadorned, with a raised rim encircling the smooth field. The inscription serves as both the engraver's authentication and the edition numbering for this trial piece. |

| Reverse description | Central design depicting two baseball players in 19th-century dress: a batter standing at the right in full swing, and a fielder crouching in a ready stance at the left, both rendered in strong relief against a plain field. The legend FATHER OF BASEBALL arcs along the upper periphery, while ABNER DOUBLEDAY curves along the lower periphery in bold capital letters. The birth and death years 1819 and 1893 flank the central figures at the mid-field level, separated by small decorative ornaments. A raised rim borders the entire design. |
