The Braided Hair Cent is a type of American one-cent coin that was produced by the United States Mint from 1839 to 1857. The 1856 Braided Hair Cent is particularly notable as it is among the last of its kind, featuring a design with a profile of Liberty with braided hair on the obverse and a traditional wreath on the reverse. Coins of this era, including the Braided Hair Cents, are sought after by collectors for their historical significance and unique design elements. The five-dollar denomination, while not directly related to the Braided Hair design, showcases the variety of coinage issued during this period in U.S. history.
