| Reverse description | A helmeted female figure, derived from the California State Seal, is shown seated in three-quarter view facing left, holding a spear or staff in her right hand and resting her left hand on a shield; at lower left, a crouching miner with a pick is visible amid rocky terrain. In the background, multiple sailing vessels and a steamship navigate a bay framed by hills, while a grizzly bear in high relief dominates the upper field above all other design elements. The reverse carries no legend. |
