Description

The aluminum version of the final design refinement, J-1329 preserves the Trade Dollar at its most advanced state in the most durable experimental composition. Among the very last dollar patterns in the Trade Dollar era series, this piece marks the transition from experimental pattern coinage to the production Trade Dollars that would circulate in Asian ports for the next decade.

Rarity Notes

R-7 to R-8. Very rare, approximately 3-8 examples survive.
