<strong>Obv:</strong> A bust of Liberty faces left with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the border and the date 1869 below. Liberty is wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY and ornamented with a single star, and the portrait is very similar to that used on the regular issue nickel three-cent piece of 1865 to 1889. <strong>Rev:</strong> A laurel wreath encircles the Roman numeral V, at the top of which is a small Maltese cross and a scroll inscribed with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST. Frosty to semi-reflective in finish with crip striking detail and light silver gray surfaces. According to the <em>uspatterns.com</em> website, "These were issued in sets along with a cent and three cent piece similar to those made the previous year." Approximately 100 specimens were produced in nickel.
