| Obverse description | The central device reproduces the Great Seal of the Confederate States of America, depicting an equestrian effigy of George Washington in military uniform, mounted on a horse striding to the left, his right arm extended and pointing forward. The figure is framed by an open wreath of olive and wheat branches tied at the base. The date FEB. 22 1862 appears in the lower field beneath the horse, commemorating Jefferson Davis's inauguration as Confederate President. The peripheral legend THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA arcs along the upper rim, while the motto DEO VINDICE is inscribed along the lower rim. |
