Reverse description Within a beaded border, the upper legend 'TIME IS MONEY.' arcs across the top of the field. In the central device, a horse at full gallop with a rider leaning forward is depicted in profile facing right, conveying the urgency of the messenger service. A horizontal ground line separates the central device from the lower exergue, which contains the date '1863' above the word 'EXIGENCY.' in a straight legend along the bottom.
