Description
Transitioning from the Amazonian's radical departure, J-1206 features a more conventional Seated Liberty obverse paired with a heraldic eagle reverse at the trade dollar weight, struck in the standard silver alloy. The design represents the establishment's response to the Amazonian experiment, proposing a trade dollar that retained recognizable American design traditions while incorporating the heavier weight standard needed for Asian commerce.
