Description
A copper striking of the commercially-oriented Seated Liberty design from J-1142, this pattern renders the trade-focused concept in warm base metal. The commercial symbolism incorporated into this design is particularly visible in copper, where the warm tones create strong contrast between the symbolic elements and the surrounding field. The piece represents the growing focus on creating a dollar specifically designed to compete with established trade coins in Asian markets.
