The reverse has an elegantly designed perched eagle in the style of Longacre's $20 with a glory of stars and rays above. Kellogg struck large quantities of twenties and fifties in 1855 but soon thereafter, most of this firm's circulating coinage was withdrawn and sent to the newly opened mint to be turned into Federal $20 gold pieces.
