| Obverse description | An eagle displayed stands atop an arched stone bridge, wings spread, facing left; the denomination '8' appears to the left of the eagle and 'R' to the right in the field. A circular legend surrounds the design, with the date 1812 incorporated into the inscription. The strike is characteristic of the crude cast technique employed by the insurgent forces, resulting in a somewhat rough surface with bold but uneven relief. |

| Reverse description | A right hand emerging from clouds grasps a bow fitted with an arrow; below, a quiver of arrows and a pike are depicted crossed or arranged beneath the hand.
