The 1787 Brasher Doubloon

The United States Mint was established in 1792. Five years earlier, however, in 1787, the goldsmith and silversmith Ephraim Brasher produced and issued the first gold coins in the United States.

These coins are known as the ¡°1787 Brasher Doubloon.¡± The original mintage is unknown, but only seven examples are confirmed to survive.

The obverse depicts the sun rising over mountains, while the reverse features an eagle. Thirteen stars appear above the eagle¡¯s head, and its talons grasp eight arrows and laurel leaves.

Of the seven surviving coins, six bear Brasher¡¯s initials, ¡°EB,¡± on the eagle¡¯s wing. The remaining example bears the initials on the eagle¡¯s breast.

The example bearing the initials on the breast is the earliest of the 1787 Brasher Doubloons.

It is said that impressing the initials on the eagle¡¯s breast affected the opposite face of the coin, prompting the subsequent placement of the initials on the wing.

Consequently, the sole surviving 1787 Brasher Doubloon bearing the initials on the eagle¡¯s breast is exceptionally valuable.
