1825 Half Cent Good
In the early decades of United States coinage, the half cent represented the smallest denomination produced by the federal government. This copper issue from 1825 offers a window into the nation's early monetary system, showcasing a design that reflects the artistic preferences of the era. The front of the coin features a classic representation of Liberty, facing left with her hair secured by a band inscribed with her name. Below her portrait, the date 1825 is clearly visible. On the reverse, the words HALF CENT are nestled inside a simple, circular wreath. Surrounding this central design, the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is struck along the outer border, completing a clean and functional layout.
