The obverse proudly displays the bold image of an American eagle in flight, symbolizing national strength and the expanding frontiers of the mid-1800s United States. The inscription "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and the date 1858 frame this iconic motif.The reverse bears the denomination "ONE CENT" encircled by a wreath of agricultural symbols, underscoring the agrarian foundation of the American economy during that era. This coin captures the essence of a nation on the brink of industrial transformation, as coinage evolved to suit the demands of growing commerce and population. This is a modern restrike, ideal for collectors wishing to appreciate the artistry and symbolism of this rare numismatic type without the premium of an original specimen. Foto:
