| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely blank, displaying an unworked, flat field with no design, legend, or device of any kind. The plain surface confirms the trial nature of this piece, struck solely to test the obverse die. The rim retains a raised edge consistent with the milled collar used during striking. |
