(R)evolution in Currency - Object 18: 1793 | Chain Cent

Struck in early 1793, the Chain cent was America’s first large cent. It was also the first circulating coin produced exclusively at the Philadelphia Mint.

The obverse firmly established Liberty – in name and personification – as the central symbol of our nation’s new coinage, while the reverse of 15 interlocking links drew on earlier Revolutionary imagery of Continental currency and the Fugio cent.

However, the design proved controversial. Liberty, one newspaper argued, appeared to be “in a fright,” while the chains proved more symbolic of slavery than unity.

After roughly 36,000 cents were struck, production paused. The Mint was out of planchets and the symbolism wasn’t appreciated. During the interim, a new design – the wreath cent – was quickly prepared. The episode offered the fledgling Mint an early lesson in the power and complexity of national symbolism.

💬 The quick reaction of the Mint begs the question: how much should public response shape the symbols our nation puts on money?
