| Obverse description | A large sailing ship navigates to the right across a stylized sea, dominating the field. In the lower centre, an inset circular relief bears a bust-length portrait of a Puritan-era figure wearing a wide-brimmed hat and ruff collar. The dates 1630 and 1930 appear in the lower left and lower right respectively, with the legend arching around the upper rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a contrasting scene of past and present: in the foreground, a Native American figure stands paddling a canoe on a lake, while in the background a shoreline with trees, a large electrical transmission tower with radiating lightning bolts, and a biplane in flight symbolise modern progress. The dates 1630 and 1930 appear within shield-shaped cartouches on the left and right, with the legend arching along the upper rim. |
