- <strong>Obv:</strong> Liberty is seated left supporting a faces with her right hand and a shield with her left hand. Thirteen stars encircle the periphery, the date 1859 is below, and an olive sprig and three arrows are at the base of the shield. <strong>Rev:</strong> An eagle with outstretched wings and a shield on its breast clutches a scroll inscribed with the Latin motto E PLURIBUS UNUM in its beak. The scroll is "broken" (i.e., it is incomplete) due to lapping of the die. A group of three arrows is in the eagle's left talon and its right talon clutches an olive branch. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is inscribed along the upper border and the denomination HALF DOLLAR is at the lower border. Steel gray toning overall with blended blue, gold, and violet highlights. The strike is light, with softness noted at the centers of both sides. Certainly a restrike with extensive die rust noted on the reverse. The designs of this pattern half dollar type are attributed to Mint engraver Anthony C. Paquet.
