    I've found two in gold here.

    The back contains the Lord's Prayer "Our Father who art in heaven...."




    << <i> Initially, the Mint's chief engraver, James Barton Longacre, fashioned two pattern two-cent pieces carrying not only dissimilar designs but also different inscriptions. One of the patterns featured a right-facing portrait of George Washington on the obverse, along with the words “God and Our Country” above the bust. The other – the one adopted – bore a simple shield with crossed arrows running through (and beneath) it; above this, a scroll proclaimed: “God Our Trust.” In each case, the reverse was dominated by the statement of value “2 Cents” within a wreath of wheat, encircled by “United States of America.” >>
