The Nova Constellatio Patterns are a series of collectible coins struck in 1783, designed by the engraver Benjamin Dawes under the authority of the Continental Congress. These patterns were created as part of an effort to establish a national currency for the newly independent United States of America. The most notable among these is the "One Thousand Dollars" coin, which features allegorical representations of freedom and the nascent nation. Due to their limited mintage and historical significance, Nova Constellatio Patterns are highly sought after by coin collectors and historians alike, often originating from New York where they were minted.
