Description

A 1785 Immune Columbia coin featuring 14 pointed rays in the reverse sunburst design, representing the original 13 states plus Vermont (the anticipated 14th state). The pointed rays are sharply defined, distinguishing this variety from the blunt rays types. The 14-star count and the legend IMMUNE COLUMBIA ("Columbia/America is free") reflect the young nation's optimism during the Confederation period.

Rarity Notes

Extremely rare. The pointed rays and 14-star count are key diagnostics.
