| Reverse description | The central field displays a large high-relief reproduction of the official seal of the City of New York, featuring two supporters — a Dutch sailor to the left and a Native American figure to the right — flanking a shield bearing crossed windmill sails, flour barrels, and a beaver, surmounted by an eagle atop a hemisphere. A curved ribbon in the inner field bears the Latin motto 'SIGILLUM CIVITATIS NOVI EBORACI' with the date '1664' below the shield. The outer legend reads 'THE 300TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDING OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK' along the upper border, with '1664 — 1964' along the lower border. |
