1864 Two Cent Piece Large Motto Fine
In 1864, the United States introduced a distinctive copper coin with a face value of two cents. This particular piece, preserved in Fine condition, showcases the intricate artistry of the era, offering a tangible window into mid nineteenth century American numismatics. The obverse of the coin features an ornate shield layered over a pair of crossed arrows, all framed by a delicate wreath. Curving above this central emblem is the motto "TRUST GOD" alongside the date 1864. This design was created by James Longacre, whose work defined many of the nation's circulating coins during this period. On the reverse, a simple yet elegant wreath encircles the bold denomination "2 CENTS". The words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" wrap around the outer border of the coin, completing a balanced and historic design that remains a favorite subject of study for historical coin enthusiasts.
