Description

The aluminum variant of J-1283, this trade dollar pattern extends the commerce-oriented concept into lightweight metal. Each design group in the 1873 series received the standard three-composition treatment, ensuring that decision-makers could evaluate each concept in standard silver for commercial viability, copper for design clarity, and aluminum for permanent preservation.
