A tall chimney blows smoke in the center. Below the scene are a crossed pick and axe. The legend reads, “MONNIER METALLURGIC TREATMENT OF SULPHRETS.” The reverse reads, “THE MONNIER METALLURGICAL COMPANY OF COLORADO; STRUCK FROM THE FIRST COPPER PRODUCED IN COLORADO 1866.” There is no reverse image.
