| Obverse description | Draped bust of a figure facing right, generally interpreted as a stylized portrait reminiscent of George III, occupying the central field. The effigy features a laureate head with ribbon ties visible at the neck, rendered in a somewhat crude provincial style characteristic of early American coppers. The circular legend VERMON. AUCTORI arcs around the periphery, abbreviated from the full Latin phrase denoting the authority of Vermont. The overall engraving is bold but irregular, reflecting the hand-cut dies used by private contractors producing Vermont coinage. |
