The back features 13 linked chains representing the 13 Colonies linked together as one nation. Each link bears the name of a Colony. At center of this ring, a sun shines with bright rays. This sun contains the words AMERICAN CONGRESS: WE ARE ONE. The $1/6 denomination is the lowest of the four small denomination pieces which comprise the Fugio note series.
