The original sculptures from which the plate center designs were cast have been meticulously modeled to depict the six most eventful scenes in the birth of the American nation. The historical significance of the sculptured scene is inscribed on the back of each plate, along with the sculptor's signature and the owner's individual registry number. Presented with booklets that give the history of the plates and how each plate was depicted, and original boxes.
