The central composition is framed by a border of stars and a stylized laurel leaf motif. The reverse of the plate bears several marks: a green printed crown device above a circular mark reading ROYAL COPENHAGEN DENMARK; three hand-painted wavy blue lines; the initials RS in blue; the words UNITED STATES BICENTENARY in green; and a hand-painted green mark reading JX. The foot rim is pre-drilled with two holes and currently holds a metal wire hanger.
