The surfaces exhibit a greyish patina consistent with long-term circulation and handling. The obverse features the Native American profile with smoothed-down hair details, while the reverse shows the American Bison with significant wear on the hump and tail area. It is housed in a holder by the International Numismatic Bureau (INB), though no specific numeric grade is assigned to the label. The mint mark is not clearly identifiable due to the level of wear on the reverse. The metal content consists of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
