This is a trial piece, in white metal, of a "perfect ribbon" reverse design by Anthony C. Paquet similar to the one used on J222/P265 minus the dentilation and motto "E Pluribus Unum" on the ribbon but from an entirely different die. This die has groups of 3 shield lines, instead of 4, has the eagle's left feather pointing to the "A" in dollar instead of the "D" and has all 3 upper shield points visible whereas on the regular pattern die, the observer's leftmost corner is under the ribbon. Another reverse with "broken ribbon" is also known but not on any splashers. For more information on the 2 reverses used on pattern coinage, click here. Only 2 examples, struck from different dies, are known. The Pollock plate coin is in the Smithsonian. To view click here. The other was part of the materials purchased by the Library Company of Philadelphia from Maxwell Whiteman. It is listed as inventory #18 and is the illustrated example. A copper example was noted as lot 723 of S.H. & H. Chapman's 7/1881 Lefferts sale where it was described as Rev of Paquet die. Spread eagle. Copper. Proof. Unique. It has not been seen since.
