Reverse: The central feature on the reverse is the text describing the provenance of the silver "FORMERLY STORED/AT/U.S. ASSAY/OFFICE/SAN FRANCISCO/CC".  The CC is the mintmark for Continental Coin.  The Type 1 rounds have a large CC mintmark.  The date 1981 is found below the central inscription and is flanked on each side by 3 stars.   The inscription around the rim reads "MINTED FROM U.S. STRATEGIC STOCKPILE SILVER".
