Tin pattern for a silver dollar. Issued by the American Continental Congress. United States of America, 1776. This is a pattern coin (a design for a new coin) issued by the newly independent United States of America. The symbols of the interlinked rings, each bearing the name of a state, and the sun shining on the sun-dial, refer to the ambitions for independence from Great Britain and the longing for unity in the colonies represented by the American Continental Congress. The legend reads: 'American Congress, we are one'. Diam. 39 mm. Inv. CM C.3847.
