Owner Comments:

I like this coin because it features 2 different versions of the German Eagle. The obverse has a single crowned eagle on the obverse and a double eagle on the reverse. It's the only time I know of that this was done. It's a stunning coin.

Obverse: Crowned eagle
Reverse: Double eagle with wings open

Coins were struck in anticipation of the Constitutional Convention scheduled to take place May 1, 1848; When the convention was delayed until May 18, 1848 the coins were recalled and the dies were altered to reflect this new date.
