Coin Details

Description

The copper companion to J-1157's synthesis design, this dollar pattern renders the culminating concept in warm base metal. As one of the last copper dollar patterns in the 1871 series, J-1158 represents the near-final state of design thinking for the Trade Dollar after a year of unprecedented experimentation. The piece captures the moment when dozens of individual design explorations began converging toward a definitive form.
