| Reverse description | A large heraldic coronet, representing the baronial crown of the Calvert family, occupies the central field, surmounted by two crossed flagstaffs bearing streaming banners, with foliate decorative elements at the base of the crown. The composition is bold and well-centred, demonstrating skilled hammered die work attributed to Thomas Simon. A beaded border encircles the design. The surrounding Latin legend DENARIVM:TERRÆ-MARIÆ• — meaning 'penny of Maryland' — appears in evenly spaced letters, with a small cross pattée serving as a dividing mark at the top. |
