| Obverse description | Draped bust of George III facing right, rendered in the so-called 'baby head' style characteristic of Vermont's earliest copper coinage, with a youthful, rounded portrait derived from contemporary British halfpenny dies. The effigy is depicted with flowing hair and minimal drapery at the truncation. The encircling Latin legend reads AUCTORI. VERMON., invoking the authority of Vermont and closely imitating the style of regal British colonial copper issues. |
