Liberty Cap Half Cent Facing Right (1794-1797) - Liberty Cap Half Cent Facing Right were the nation’s lowest face value coin struck by the United States and replaced 1793 Liberty Cap, facing Left. Designed by Robert Scot the coins were struck on copper planchets weighing 5.44 grams that were 23.5 mm in diameter. They feature a portrait ‘emblematic of Liberty’ as ordered by the coinage act of 1792. The image was more refined than the early likenesses with the hair of Liberty tied back with a ribbon and the bust draped in cloth. Problem free examples of this early Mint design are heavily sought after in all grade levels.
