Obverse design of 1859 with the reverse design of 1860. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA do not appear on the coin anywhere which is extremely unusual. The coin is usually considered a pattern design but widely collected by specialists of the series.
Obverse Description
Lady Liberty is seated on a rock, holding a staff, and bearing a shield with the word LIBERTY on a flowing ribbon. 13 stars have adorn the periphery and the date appears at the bottom center.
Reverse Description
The words HALF DIME are centered and surrounded by an ornate wreath tied by ribbon and double bow at the bottom.
