This item is a U.S. Mint medal from the Swoger series, issued in the year 1853. Unlike traditional coins, it does not have a specific denomination or mint mark, suggesting it was produced for commemorative or ceremonial purposes rather than general circulation. Crafted from copper, the medal highlights the artistry and history associated with U.S. numismatics. With no recorded mintage, this medal is quite rare, which can greatly impact its value depending on its historical significance and demand among collectors. The absence of specific measurements like width, height, and diameter implies that detailed physical specifications are either not available or not applicable to this piece, potentially highlighting its uniqueness. As a special production type, it is classified under the broader category of "Coins" despite lacking the conventional attributes of coinage. Given its historical context from the mid-19th century, this medal may appeal to collectors interested in U.S. Mint history or commemorative medals, serving as a tangible connection to the past. While its monetary value is listed as zero, the intrinsic historical value could be substantial to the right collector.
