The obverse features a depiction of Liberty with flowing hair draped in a shawl, while the reverse displays a wreath encircling the denomination. These coins are significant for collectors due to their historical context and varying mintages, with the 1800 issue being particularly sought after. The design reflects the early American coinage aesthetic and marks a crucial period in U.S. numismatic history.
