To commemorate the bicentennial of the War of 1812.


Keep it if you come across this one. It's difficult to find and is highly sought after today in uncirculated condition. Collectors pay more than face value for it.


Composition:

Outer ring: multi-ply nickel-plated steel,

Inner core: multi-ply brass-plated aluminum bronze

Diameter: 28 mm

Weight: 6.99 g

Thickness: 1.80 mm


The coin in the pictures is a circulation issue in mint state condition.
