Reverse: The reverse depicts a reversed Roman numeral V (which is backwards) above the word CENTS (which is curved) within the wreath.

Comment:
The fields on this example are brightly mirrored and there is slight contrast evident against the lightly frosted devices. Almost brilliant, showing just a hint of golden color on each side. There are few contact marks or other post-striking impairments on this lovely near-Gem
