1835 - Coins

C. Bechtler coins are a notable example of early American coinage, specifically issued by Christopher Bechtler, a goldsmith and mint operator in North Carolina during the 1830s. These coins were struck in gold and are characterized by their distinctive designs and denominations, which included values from $1 to $5. The 1835 issue is particularly significant, as it represents one of the first attempts at creating a standardized gold currency in the United States, catering to the needs of local miners and merchants during the gold rush era in the region. Bechtler coins are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical importance and limited mintage.
