label: Description
content: Silver coins with these designs were struck between 1873 and 1878, their target the lucrative trade of the Far East. But the idea proved to be a fiasco, and production for commerce ceased after 1878. A few were made through 1885. This silver-plated version exists in an edition of two. [reference no. Judd 1732]
