Ron Guth:

Judd-1112 is copper version of the 1871 Standard Silver Half Dollar prototype. The obverse features Longacre's "Indian Princess" design seated on a rock, with her hand on a globe draped with a banner emblazoned with the word LIBERTY. 13 stars surround. The reverse features a wreath made of American-grown crops surroundign the denomination, and the word STANDARD hovers above. Neither the obverse nor the reverse were ever adopted for use on regular issue coins, and the Standard Silver experiment failed, as well.

This is the most "common" version of the J-1111 to J-1113 grouping, though all three are considered rare.
