Description
A copper rendering of the Commercial Eagle trade dollar design from J-1126, this pattern demonstrates the proposed international coinage concept in base metal. The Commercial Eagle's bold spread-wing design translates particularly well to copper, where the warm tones accentuate the eagle's powerful stance and the commercial symbols intended to facilitate Asian trade acceptance. The piece documents the design that would eventually evolve into the adopted 1873 Trade Dollar.
Rarity Notes
