Object/Artifact

St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts an old coin with a profile of a person's head in the center, likely representing a historic figure, encircled by several stars. The date "1816" is visible at the bottom, indicating the coin's year of minting. It appears to be a U.S. Large Cent, struck during the early 19th century, characterized by its copper material which has aged and developed a patina, giving it a worn, antique appearance.
