St. Joseph Museums

The coin features an engraved image of a log cabin with a visible slanted roof, a door, and a window, accompanied by two trees: one prominently standing on the left side and another on the right. Above the cabin, text is engraved around the upper edge of the coin, starting with "THE PEOPLES CHOICE," which may suggest a commemorative or celebratory theme. Lower down, additional text states "THE HERO OF NEW ORLEANS," which likely references a historical event or figure associated with this location. The coin exhibits a small hole near the edge, possibly indicating it was designed to be worn or displayed as a pendant. The overall worn appearance of the coin suggests it might be old, with visible patina adding to its vintage character, creating a sense of antiquity and nostalgia associated with the depicted scene and inscriptions.
