Description
Presenting a further refined version of the trade dollar obverse concept, J-1145 features modifications that bring the design closer to the form ultimately adopted in 1873. Struck in the standard silver alloy, this pattern shows the iterative refinement process entering its final stages, with each successive design capturing more of the qualities that decision-makers sought in the definitive Trade Dollar: strength, dignity, and unmistakable American identity.
