The 2 Cent Piece, also known as the Two Cent Coin, was minted in the United States from 1864 to 1873. It features a design by engraver James B. Longacre, showcasing the words "In God We Trust" encircled by a wreath on the obverse, and a shield surrounded by a laurel wreath on the reverse. The coins were produced as part of the efforts to create more small change during the Civil War. The 1864 2 Cent Piece is particularly notable for being the inaugural year of the series and is sought after by collectors for its historical significance and unique design.
