Object/Artifact

-

St. Joseph Museums

The image shows an old coin from 1863 featuring a profile of a figure wearing a headdress, often associated with Liberty, surrounded by a circle of small stars. The surface of the coin is worn, with some visible discoloration and marks, including a noticeable over-stamp with the word "GARLIC" bent across the top left side, and some red scribbles or stains near the bottom right. The craftsmanship and details, specific to the era, indicate it may be of historical or numismatic interest, despite the alterations affecting its original design. The edge appears to be smooth, and the numeral "1863" is clearly legible at the bottom, indicating the mint year. The coin is set against a plain, dark background which provides contrast to better highlight its intricate details and current condition.
