St. Joseph Museums

The coin features the profile of a classical figure facing left, adorned with a headband inscribed with letters. Encircling the profile are thirteen stars, and the year "1854" is prominently displayed at the bottom edge of the coin, indicating its minting date. The coin displays signs of wear, with a slightly tarnished surface that enhances its antique appearance. Overall, the design and patina suggest it is a numismatic piece from the mid-19th century, possibly valued by collectors for its historical and aesthetic significance.
