There are many other listings for this pattern. This design was also struck in silver J1524/P1690 with 7 known. A second obverse die with low date, head and less finishing in the leaves was also created and is described in Pollock as P1692-P1693. I believe this die was actually the first one created but was rejected. Only a single example is known in both silver and copper. To see both obverses side by side, click here.
