Morgan's first obverse design of this type without pellets between the words in "E Pluribus Unum" combined with his reverse with "In God We Trust" above the eagle's head.
These were struck on thinner and slightly wider 25.5mm vs 21.5mm planchets than the regular issue.
About a dozen are known, several of which have been gilted. For images of most of these, click here.
