From uspatterns.com :

" Longacre's French head design combined with the "50 Cents" cereal wreath reverse.

Your editor, Saul Teichman, has always questioned whether this was designed by Longacre or Paquet as the 1859 half dollar patterns used Paquet's punches in the legend "United States of America". Kurt Brintzenhofe notes a July 1897 article in the American Journal of Numismatics on U.S. Assay Commission Medals by Edmund J. Cleveland also attributes the French head used on the 1860 to Paquet.
