| Reverse description | The reverse of this pattern piece presents a plain, unadorned field showing no struck design elements, consistent with its nature as a bonded double planchet coin pattern. The surface exhibits the natural texture and toning of .999 fine silver, with no legends, devices, or inscriptions of any kind. This blank reverse is characteristic of experimental or trial pieces produced to test planchet bonding and striking parameters. |
