| Obverse description | The obverse features two horizontal bands of raised legend in the field reading GOLD COB DOUBLOON / DOUBLON BOUT BARRE DOR, separated by a floral ornament, with decorative floral and foliate devices in the lower portion. The token imitates the irregular cob-style planchet shape of a Spanish colonial doubloon. This side serves as the promotional identification face for the Crest Toothpaste advertising piece. |
