Her left hand rests on an upright shield, and her right arm extends to support a fasces. The reverse features an eagle with outstretched wings, a scroll inscribed E PLURIBUS UNUM in its beak, and the usual statutory legends above and below. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. This is the broken ribbon variety with the end of the ribbon on the reverse floating in the field. A lovely Proof example with rich champagne toning and minor striking softness on Liberty's shield hand.
