Comment
This coin was issued by the Confederate States of America, a federal republic constituted by the 11 Southern states which seceded from the United States after the election of Abraham Lincoln as President.Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Cent coin from the Confederate States of America, minted in 1861, is unique in that it was designed to be a decimal currency, unlike the traditional system of pounds, shillings, and pence used in the United States at the time. This coin, made of copper-nickel and weighing 4.67 grams, was intended to be part of a new monetary system that never came to be, as the Confederacy ultimately failed to establish an independent nation. Despite its historical significance, the coin remains a rare and interesting artifact for collectors and historians alike.
