Interesting fact
The Pattern 1836 Gold Dollar is a highly sought-after rare coin among collectors, with only 300 pieces minted. Despite its name, it was not made of gold but rather a copper-nickel alloy. Its design features a Liberty Head on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse, with the inscription "DOLLAR" in bold letters. Due to its rarity, it is considered a valuable collector's item, with some examples selling for tens of thousands of dollars at auction.
