In collectible coinage, patterns and trial coins represent preliminary designs created for potential circulation. The 1849 One Dollar pattern coins from Philadelphia are significant examples; they were produced as experimental pieces to test design concepts for a new dollar coin. These patterns are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical importance and limited mintage, often reflecting innovative artistic elements that distinguished them from officially issued currency.
