| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a high-relief scene of Alexander Graham Bell demonstrating the telephone at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, with several bearded figures gathered around a table bearing early telephone apparatus beneath a pavilion canopy. The surrounding legend reads 'TELEPHONE DEMONSTRATED AT THE CENTENNIAL' along the upper border, with the date '1876' in the lower field flanked by two five-pointed stars. The designer's initials 'WS' appear in small relief near the lower center of the scene. |
