Civil War Patterns (1860-1865)

Coin Series

About This Series

Pattern coins proposed during the Civil War era, when the monetary system was under extreme stress. These include experimental designs, composition tests, and proposed denominations reflecting the wartime need for circulating coinage. Many incorporate patriotic themes and the newly adopted motto IN GOD WE TRUST. Cataloged in the Judd reference, these patterns document a turbulent period in Mint history.
