| Reverse description | The field features a stylized design contrasting the city's founding in 1670 as Charles-Towne, depicted with a colonial-era settlement vignette at upper left, with the modern city of Charleston in 1970 at lower right, shown with a contemporary skyline vignette. The dates 1670 and 1970 appear prominently in the field alongside the respective city names, connected by a flowing ribbon device. The motto 'The City of Firsts' appears in script at the bottom of the field, with the tricentennial legend and anniversary inscription running around the full border. |
