Description

A restrike in pewter bearing the "American Congress" legend. Pewter was an unusual metal choice for restrikes, making this among the rarest compositions for Fugio-related pieces. The soft pewter metal often shows excellent detail from the dies, though the pieces are fragile compared to copper or brass restrikes. Pewter American Congress restrikes are prized for their extreme rarity.

Rarity Notes

Extremely rare. Pewter restrikes are among the rarest Fugio compositions.
