The issues of 1794-98 are all very rare. For weight, diameter and fineness, the coin is a passable imitation of a Latin American portrait dollar (see Peru 1799 8 reales.) This date is with "off-center bust" and "centered bust" varieties. The reverse was redesigned to use the heraldic eagle in 1798 and struck in that form through 1803.
Recorded mintage: 42,738 + 160,295 of the Flowing Hair.
Specification: 26.96 g, .892 fine silver, .773 troy oz ASW, lettered edge.
Catalog reference: KM 18.
