The reverse bears the name of the then President of the United States Howard Taft and of the Governor and future President Woodrow Wilson. The upper left and right bear images of President and Brothers George Washington and Lafayette. Between them are the names of the initial Lodge Officer in 1761 and lower down are the names of the Lodge Officers in 1911. In the lower left corner is the Seal of the Grand Lodge of New Jersey and the lower right corner is the Seal of St. John's Lodge No. 1. It is one of the most beautiful of Bronze commemoratives.
