Description
Featuring a Liberty obverse with attributes suggesting both classical tradition and commercial purpose, J-1215 was struck in the standard silver alloy. This mid-series entry exemplifies the Trade Dollar program's dual mandate: creating a coin beautiful enough to represent America's artistic ambitions and practical enough to compete with established trade coins in Asian markets. The design balances artistic refinement with the bold visual identity needed for international recognition.
