- Obverse: A hand holding a scroll at center with the message "OUR CAUSE IS JUST." The words "UNANIMITY IS THE STRENGTH OF SOCIETY" are written around the rim.
- Reverse: A pyramid with all 15 states represented, with Kentucky on the top. Many believe these tokens were produced to commemorate Kentucky being the 15th state admitted into the Union.
