The Coronet large cent was a type of large cent issued by the United States Mint at the Philadelphia Mint[1] from 1816 until 1857.[2]
There are two similar designs of the Coronet large cent, the Matron Head and the Braided Hair, the latter with a slightly altered profile. This was the last large cent produced by the mint, being replaced by the reduced diameter Flying Eagle cent in 1857.
