Owner Comments:
The obverse features a right-facing bust of George Washington as the central design element. The motto GOD AND OUR COUNTRY is above, the date 1863 is below and there is a single star both before and after the base of the portrait. The reverse exhibits a wreath of wheat around the denomination 2 CENTS with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above. The word CENTS is markedly curved. Struck in copper or bronze with a plain edge. Lighter medium-brown patina to the obverse, the reverse is more deeply toned with a mostly copper-brown sheen. Glints of faded color are evident here and there around some of the devices on both sides. Highlights of blue-gray patina scattered about on the reverse.
