| Obverse description | A hog standing to the left occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The Roman numeral XII appears above the animal, denoting the denomination. The circumscribed Latin legend SOMMER ISLANDS runs around the periphery between the inner circle and the outer border, referencing the early colonial name for the Bermuda archipelago. The design is rendered in a primitive but characterful style typical of early hammered colonial coinage. |
