Burbank and Shaw 1845 coin

Object/Artifact

-

St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts a close-up view of a vintage coine. The coin, with an aged patina, displays a faint impression of a head in the center surrounded by text. The circular text, though partially obscured, reads "PAID FOR BY" and seems to include a date, potentially "1845." There are red markings on the side, somewhat resembling numbers or letters, but these are difficult to discern. The coin's edges appear slightly worn, suggesting it could be an old collectible item. The background contrasts strongly with the coin's color, highlighting its historical character.
