In 1873, the Trade Dollar was created to send large amounts of silver to China and convert them into trade dollars. The design for the coin was created by William Barber at the United States Mint. This coin continued in circulation until 1878. After 1878, the coin continued as a proof coin only until 1883.
On the obverse of this coin is Lady Liberty seated and holding an olive branch out over the sea perhaps to signify the original intent of the coin, to trade with China. Dangling from her other hand is a ribbon with “LIBERTY” on it. At the base of her chair is “IN GOD WE TRUST”. Around the image are 13 stars perhaps to signify the original 13 colonies. Four more stars are at the bottom under “IN GOD WE TRUST” perhaps emphasizing each word.
The reverse side of the 1oz Trade Dollar Copper Round is NOT the same design as the original Trade Dollar but has a heraldic shield. This shield has ‘USA’ on it and three stars perhaps to represent the three branches of the government. Sprouting from behind the shield are outstretched American eagle wings. In the background is a flag waving. At the top of the coin is “COPPER .999 FINE’. At the bottom is ‘ONE AVDP OUNCE’.
