Reverse depicts a small native on the right of coin, throwing a spear at a small deer, which is standing at the left of the coin. Next to the deer, on the same hill, is a tall tree and above the tree to the right is the sun shining. While not dated, records indicate this medal was struck sometime between 1714 and 1727. Additionally, the medal is not signed so the artist is unknown.
