St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts an old coin with a worn surface, featuring a profile of a person's head with long hair tied at the back, which faces to the right. The coin shows signs of age with scratches and patina, indicating it might be from an earlier period. The top of the coin has partially visible text that seems to spell "LIBERTY," and along the bottom edge, there is a faint date visible, which appears to read "1796," suggesting it could be a historical piece from the 18th century. The coin rests on a dark blue or purple textured background, adding contrast to its metallic surface.
