The Nova Constellatio is a significant piece of American numismatic history, produced in 1783 as a proposal for a national currency by Robert Morris. Made of copper, these coins feature a design that reflects the nascent United States' aspirations and symbolism, including a depiction of a constellation and an agricultural motif. Due to their limited mintage and historical context, Nova Constellatio coins are highly sought after by collectors, representing both an early effort at coinage and the emerging identity of the United States.
