Features an engraved circular portrait of McClellan, with a quote below from his letter of acceptance as the Democratic nominee: "The Union must be preserved at all hazards."

Ohio was won by the National Union Party candidate, incumbent President Abraham Lincoln, who won the state with 56.37% of the popular vote. The Democratic Party candidate, George B. McClellan, garnered 43.63% of the popular vote. McClellan, a pro-War Democrat, was nominated for president over the Copperhead Thomas H. Seymour. Pendleton, a close associate of the Copperhead Clement Vallandigham, balanced the ticket, since he was known for having strongly opposed the Union war effort.
