Metric & Stella Patterns (1874-1879)

Coin Series

About This Series

Pattern coins exploring metric-based denominations and international trade coinage, including the famous Stella ($4 gold) proposals. These reflect late 19th-century efforts to harmonize American coinage with European metric standards. The metric patterns proposed denominations in grams rather than traditional weights, while the Stella patterns explored a universal trade coin concept.
