Description

A uniface obverse die impression in white metal, cataloged as Newman 102. This die trial piece shows only the obverse design (sundial with "FUGIO" and "Mind Your Business") as it was struck from a single die into soft white metal. Die impressions were made to test or preserve die designs and are important numismatic artifacts documenting the Fugio cent die production process.

Rarity Notes

Extremely rare uniface die trial. White metal impressions are very scarce.
