UNITED STATES: Nova Constellatio copper pattern, 1785, VF, pointed rays, 13 rays & 13 stars around the eye // US within wreath, LIBERTAS ET JUSTITIA around, nice even strike, struck in England for export to America. Morris' selection of designs for his coinage scheme revealed his nationalistic bent. The all-seeing eye of God surrounded by rays of glory indicated the nation's reliance on providential guidance. The sprinkling of thirteen stars among the rays of glory represented the individual states of a new constellation (Nova Constellatio) among the nations in the heavens. The abbreviation "U.S." and the uninterrupted wreath of laurel stood for the unity and unbreakable solidarity of the states. The Latin words Libertas and Justitia signified the Liberty and Justice which would govern the new nation and be enjoyed by its citizens.
