This coin is a fascinating example from the Patterns & Trial Coins series, minted in Philadelphia in the year 1836. It represents unique numismatic interest, particularly for collectors of early American coins and experimental strikes. The coin is categorized under the denomination of "Other / Varied," pointing to its innovative nature, as it may not align with traditional denominations of the time. Stamped with a mint mark 'P' for Philadelphia, this coin is crafted as a mint strike, indicating it was produced specifically by the U.S. Mint during a period of exploration into new designs and styles of currency. Its production type as a mint strike further emphasizes its significance in the context of coinage experimentation that characterized that era. While the specifics regarding its physical attributes such as width, height, diameter, weight, and mintage are recorded as zero, this may imply that the coin exists primarily in theoretical or conceptual discussion, perhaps as a prototype or trial piece not commonly circulated or documented. As a traditional currency of the United States of America, this coin encapsulates an important facet of American numismatic history, reflecting a time when the Mint was exploring new designs and formats for the evolving needs of commerce. Its place in the Patterns & Trial Coins series signals its unique role in the narrative of American currency development.
