| Reverse description | The reverse displays a richly detailed composition centered on an outline map of California in relief, flanked by scenes evoking the state's historic events: a suspension bridge (Golden Gate) to the left with two period-costumed figures in the foreground, a Spanish mission building to the upper right, and a group of gold prospectors panning for gold at lower right. The legend HISTORIC EVENTS arcs along the upper border, with CALIFORNIA inscribed along the lower border. |
