COIN

Object/Artifact

-

St. Joseph Museums

The coin displays a profile of a woman wearing a headband inscribed with the word "LIBERTY." Surrounding the profile are thirteen stars, and the year "1849" is engraved at the bottom. The coin appears to be an older U.S. currency design, likely representing a historical piece. The coin's detail and the number of stars suggest it may have been a standard design for currency from that era. The background contrasts with the coin, highlighting its design and giving it an enhanced prominence against the deep hue.
