Trade Dollars were a type of coin issued by the United States specifically for trade with Asia, introduced in 1873 and minted until 1885. The 1874 Trade Dollar features an allegorical depiction of Liberty and was struck primarily to facilitate trade with Chinese merchants, as it was intended to compete with foreign silver coins. These coins are notable for their larger size and higher silver content compared to other contemporary coins. The 1874 issue is part of a series that is particularly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and varying degrees of rarity and condition.
