| Obverse description | The entire obverse field is occupied by a seven-line raised legend in bold capital letters stating the silver content and its equivalence to one gold dollar in value, dated July 1896. The inscription reads '776 1/3 GRAINS OF SILVER 900/1000 FINE THE EQUIVALENT OF ONE GOLD DOLLAR IN VALUE JULY 1896', with the fineness expressed as a fraction in relief. This token is associated with the free silver monetary debate of the 1896 U.S. presidential campaign. |
