This is one of two patterns using this undated Indian head obverse on a wide planchet. On this it is combined with a laurel reverse with clusters of 5 leaves, that, according to Pollock, differs from any used on regular coins. It has a prominent central dot. This is one of several patterns using the Indian head design.

Pollock lists this under 1859 whereas Judd lists it under 1858. Examples were struck as follows: Copper-nickel J214/P276 with only 2 known.
