Reverse description The reverse depicts the paddle-wheel steamship Mary Celestia, a Confederate blockade runner that sank off the coast of Bermuda in 1864, rendered in detailed relief against an open field. The ship is shown in full profile under sail and steam, with fine engraving capturing the rigging, hull, and paddle wheel. The vessel's name MARY CELESTIA is inscribed in prominent raised letters, accompanied by the historical date Anna Domini 1864 in cursive script, commemorating the year of the wreck. The denomination 600 DOLLARS appears in the lower portion of the field. The composition is framed within a dashed inner border echoing the triangular shape of the coin.
