[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.

During the War of 1812, a trade embargo was imposed between the United States and England, which had supplied the US Mint with copper planchets.

[4] Once the embargo was lifted and the mint received new planchets, large cent production resumed, this time with a new design of the goddess Liberty by Robert Scot.

[6] In 1836, Christian Gobrecht made several modifications to the design, giving the bust of Liberty a younger appearance.

Additionally, a drop in the price of copper temporarily eliminated the need to replace the large cent.
