Description

A 1785 Confederatio copper with the obverse legend INIMICA TYRANNIS ("Enemy of Tyrants") misspelled as TRYANNIS, paired with small stars in the reverse design surrounding the CONFEDERATIO legend. The Confederatio coppers are experimental or proposed federal coins featuring various obverse and reverse die combinations. The "Tryannis" misspelling is a notable die-cutting error.

Rarity Notes

Very rare. All Confederatio varieties are rare experimental coins.
