Description

A copper rendering of J-1215's dual-purpose trade dollar concept, this pattern highlights the design's commercial symbolism in warm base metal. The copper composition makes the interplay between classical artistic elements and practical commercial motifs particularly visible, as the different design zones respond to the metal's surface characteristics in distinctive ways.
