This coin features a design with a prominent "3" surrounded by a laurel wreath on the obverse, while the reverse showcases a shield. The Type 1 designation is characterized by its small size and use of 90% silver content, with a total weight of 2.5 grams. The Three Cents coin was initially introduced as a response to the need for a small denomination to facilitate commerce, particularly during the period following the Civil War.
