Description

A uniface reverse die impression in white metal, cataloged as Newman GG. This die trial shows only the reverse design (13 chain links with "WE ARE ONE" and the outer legend) struck from a single reverse die into white metal. The Newman GG designation identifies the specific reverse die used. Such pieces are invaluable for studying Fugio cent die characteristics without the complications of double-sided striking.

Rarity Notes

Extremely rare. Uniface reverse die impressions in white metal are very scarce.
