The Nova Constellatio Patterns are a series of coins struck in 1783 as part of Robert Morris's proposal for a national currency in the United States. Among these patterns, the Five Hundred Dollar (500) piece is notable for its large denomination and unique design, reflecting the early attempts to create a cohesive monetary system post-independence. Coins from this series are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and limited mintage, making them a prominent feature in American numismatic collections. These coins were produced in New York and are emblematic of the formative years of the United States' monetary policy.
