| Aversbeschreibung | Draped bust of George III facing right, rendered in the so-called 'baby head' style characteristic of Vermont's earliest copper coinage, with a youthful, rounded portrait derived from contemporary British halfpenny dies. The effigy is depicted with flowing hair and minimal drapery at the truncation. The encircling Latin legend reads AUCTORI. VERMON., invoking the authority of Vermont and closely imitating the style of regal British colonial copper issues. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Vermont declared independence from both New York and New Hampshire in 1777 and spent fourteen years as a sovereign republic before joining the Union in 1791. The 1786 copper coinage was authorized by the Vermont General Assembly as the republic's first official currency — a direct economic necessity, since Spanish milled dollars and worn foreign copper dominated local exchange with no reliable small change in circulation.
KM#5 is distinguished from earlier Vermont coppers by the bust facing right, a deliberate departure from the leftward-facing issues of 1785. Several die varieties are documented for this year, attributed primarily to Reuben Harmon Jr. of Rupert, who held the minting franchise.
