Coronet Head Large Cents
(1816 - 1839)
The Coronet Head Large Cent debuted in 1816, marking the return of cent production after a brief suspension during the War of 1812 era. Designed by Robert Scot and later modified by other engravers, this type features Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with “LIBERTY,” giving the series its commonly used name. The design remained in use through 1857, making it one of the longest-running large cent types. Over time, subtle design adjustments created collectible subtypes, including the Matron Head (1816–1839) and the later Braided Hair style (1839–1857). Certain dates, such as 1823, 1827, and 1857, are particularly desirable, and the 1857 issue represents the final year of large cent production before the smaller Flying Eagle cent was introduced.
