Item Description
Each piece is 3.5" dia. designed to resemble an over-sized Liberty head coin. Back of each reads "Bryan's Idea Of Coinage 16 To 1 Aber Nit." (Meaning - "But Not In Trust") The over-sized coins were to poke fun at the Democrat's proposal of silver to gold coinage in a value ratio of 16 to 1. Many varieties were produced, mostly in 1896. These pieces are well-executed. The first is white metal with "1896" date and weighs about 6 ounces. The second is also "1896" but with more lead content so weight is just over 8 ounces. The third piece is like the first except the date was changed in the mold from 1896 to "1900." Minor wear traces. Exc. overall.
