St. Joseph Museums

The coin, showing considerable wear and age, features the inscription “ONE CENT” prominently in the center, surrounded by a wreath design. Its edges show signs of discoloration and patina, which add to its antique appearance. The intricate detailing of the wreath is partially obscured due to the coin's worn condition, indicating many years in circulation. The fabric background provides a contrasting backdrop, highlighting the coin's coppery hue with subtle greenish tarnish that suggests its historical significance.
