2 men were next-door neighbors on Cherry Street in New York City in 1787. Ephraim Brasher, a famous gold- and silversmith. The other was George Washington. Both were passionate about the coinage for the new United States, and Brasher set a goal of striking the first gold coin. In 1787 Brasher did strike the first American gold coin. It’s known as the Brasher Gold Half Doubloon, and today it’s at the Smithsonian Institution® in Washington, D.C.

Smithsonian has officially authorized the minting of this limited-edition Brasher Gold Half Doubloon . Each comes struck in 99.9% pure gold and is the exact size and weight of Brasher’s 1787 coin. In addition, a painstaking process was necessary to reproduce the edges of the coin, leaving every Brasher Gold Half Doubloon unique -- no two are alike!
