The reverse design features an eagle with its wing spread and a union shield on its chest. The eagle holds an olive branch in its left claw and arrows in the right. Above the eagle’s head are an oval of 13 stars and a pattern of rays. This type lists the denomination as 'TWENTY D.'
This coin was minted in New Orleans and is PCGS graded XF45.
