Immune Columbia, Pattern, United States, 1785

Description: Produced at George Wyon's private mint, Birmingham, England. Obverse: Seated figure of Columbia with scales of justice and a Liberty cap, date below. Reverse: All-seeing Eye in a glory with stars, CONSTELLATIO NOVA around. This pattern accompanied a proposed contract coinage to be made in England and shipped to America. This version never went any farther, perhaps in part because the obverse die for this pattern contained a major blunder: the first word should have been IMMUNIS, not IMMUNE. A few pieces were struck in copper, and this one (using an English guinea as a blank) in gold. Such contract proposals continued through the early 1790s, but they never bore fruit. Congress concluded that it was simply too dangerous to entrust producing America's money to a foreign source.

Publisher: Feingold, Ellen R.. Value of Money, The, Glossary of Coins and Currency Terms, http://americanhistory.si.edu/coins/glossary.cfm
Topics: Josiah K. Lilly Jr. Collection
Description: A goldsmith named Ephraim Brasher produced this coin, known as the “Brasher Half Doubloon,” in New York City in 1787. At the time the United States did not have a Mint and private citizens, like Brasher, produced their own coins by melting down coins and medals made in other countries, such as Spain, and reusing the metal. This coin was likely made from gold of Spanish doubloons. Although Brasher’s coins were not official legal tender, Brasher added his initials “EB” to the surface of the coin to verify that he had tested the metal and stood behind its quality to encourage their use. The design features a sun rising over the mountains – celebrating the rising of the new nation – on the obverse, and an eagle on the reverse. The same design appears on the Brasher Doubloon, 8 of which still survive. This half doubloon coin is unique.
