St. Joseph Museums

The image shows a close-up view of a round, gold-colored coin against a dark background. The coin features a profile of a woman with intricate details in her hair, surrounded by text along the perimeter. The text includes the words "ST. LOUIS MO." and some numbers inscribed in black ink that appear to be added separately from the minting. The coin’s surface has a slightly worn and aged appearance, indicating that it may be an older piece. The detailed and stylized portrait suggests it could be a commemorative or historical token, emblematic of a specific event or era, likely related to St. Louis, Missouri.
