Item for sale is a c. 1955 copper medal depicting the U.S. Frigate Constellation. Medal is enclosed within a cardboard coin holder. Item has minor wear with some marks and darkening from oxidation.   Please see pictures for details.

This unique coin was made, partially, from copper spikes removed from the ship during restoration efforts during the 1950s. These coins were used in fund-raising efforts to help defer the cost of the repairs. The front of the medal depicts the Constellation under sail with "U.S. Frigate Constellation" and "1797" around the border, and the back has the statement "This coin struck from parts of the Frigate Constellation the first ship of the U.S. Navy" along with an eagle and two canons. The coin measures 1 1/4" in diameter and is just a bit more than 1/16" thick and weighs 0.5 oz (16g).

  • Condition: Minor wear. See pictures and full description.
