The portrait is the smallest in the series and is enclosed by very fine lathework ⅛ of an inch wide, the general outline of which is irregularly hexagonal. On each outer side, above the middle line, are four small five-pointed stars, enlarged in size from the lowest one up. At the top are three more stars, the smallest one in the middle. In each lower corner is a large five-pointed star, completing the 13; upon the left of these is the letter "U", and upon the right "S", tending inward at the top.
Presentation: ¾ face to right
