The obverse is the "flowing hair" liberty head on the right, and the vintage. in spite of a big work of remodelling of the head, this design did not meet more success. it was abandoned for good afterwards. there is a branch above the date. on some very rare pieces, there are strawberry leaves with a bud instead. see comments for more details.<span class="translated_info" data-details-id="d649928223c53e"><img src="/design/icones/translated.svg" alt="automatically translated" /></span><div id="d649928223c53e" class="translated_details" aria-hidden="true"><div class="translated_details_intro">this is an automatic translation. the original text is:</div><div lang="fr">la tête de la liberté dite "flowing hair" de droite, et le millésime. malgré un gros travail de remodelage de la tête, ce design ne rencontra pas davantage de succès. il fut abandonné définitivement après. il y a une branche au-dessus de la date. sur certaines pièces très rares, il y a plutôt des feuilles de fraisier avec un bourgeon. voir les commentaires pour plus de détails.</div></div>.
