| Reverse description | The reverse of this obverse trial piece is entirely blank and unfinished, displaying only the plain, slightly concave metal surface with visible lathe-turning marks radiating concentrically around the central hole. No design, legend, or decorative element of any kind was applied, confirming the piece's status as a one-sided obverse die trial. The surface retains a smooth, lightly brushed texture consistent with an unworked trial planchet. |
