This coin is a unique and historical piece from the Patterns & Trial Coins series, minted in the United States in 1823 at the Philadelphia Mint. It is categorized under the 'Other / Varied' denomination, indicating it does not conform to standard coin values. The coin was produced as a proof, showcasing its intended purpose as a sample or trial piece, likely for evaluation or experimentation in design or minting processes. Although specific measurements such as width, height, diameter, weight, and currency amount are listed as zero, this may suggest either that the coin's precise dimensions and weight have not been recorded or that it is part of a category where these metrics are not applicable. With a mintage value of zero, this coin could be particularly noteworthy as it implies that it either was not released for general circulation or may exist in only limited quantities, heightening its appeal to collectors. As a 1823 coin, it hails from a significant period in U.S. history, making it not just a monetary artifact but also a historical relic that reflects the art and economics of its time. Overall, this coin exemplifies a fascinating convergence of numismatic history and artistry, appealing to both collectors and historians alike.
