Vermont copper

Obverse of the 1785 design shows a plow and the Sun rising over the Green Mountains. The Latin motto VERMONTS. RES. PUBLICA. can be translated to mean the republic, or commonwealth, of Vermont.
Reverse of the 1785 and 1786 design features an "all-seeing eye" with 13 stars encircled by the Latin motto STELLA. QUARTA. DECIMA. meaning the fourteenth star.

Vermont coppers were copper coins issued by the Vermont Republic.[1] The coins were first struck in 1785 and continued to be minted until Vermont's admission to the United States in 1791 as the State of Vermont.
