On the reverse the denomination and date are full at center, inner beaded border complete, peripheral legend fully legible even though it is beginning to run off the planchet at upper left. A pair of old scratches on the obverse at the letters AS in MASATHVSETS is noted, although they have both toned down nicely over the years and do not detract during in-hand viewing.
