| Obverse lettering | JAMES BUCHANAN, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES 1857 |
| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two allegorical figures standing before a large unfurled American flag: on the left, a male figure in civilian attire and hat, representing Labor, holding a tool; on the right, a classically draped female figure representing Virtue or Liberty, with an axe at her feet. The motto LABOR VIRTUE HONOR arcs along the upper border, and the engraver's signature J. WILLSON appears along the lower exergue. A landscape with water and distant scenery is rendered in low relief in the background. |
