Description
The copper companion to J-1132, this dollar pattern renders the evolving trade dollar concept in warm base metal at the full dollar diameter. Copper dollar patterns from the Trade Dollar era are among the most visually striking objects in 19th-century American numismatics, combining the dollar's commanding size with copper's rich tonal quality. The piece served as both a design evaluation tool and a lasting record of the iterative process behind America's first purpose-built international trade coin.
