The Brasher Doubloons were the first gold coins struck in the newly independent United States. They were made by Ephraim Brasher, a New York City gold and silversmith who counted his neighbor George Washington among his customers.
The better-known 1787 Brasher Doubloon shows a heraldic eagle on one side, reminiscent of the Great Seal of the United States. In one claw is an olive branch, which symbolizes a desire for peace, and in the other claw are arrows, which symbolize readiness for war. On the eagle’s right wing is Brasher’s famous EB hallmark. The coin’s other side depicts a sun rising over a mountain, reflecting a theme from the New York coat of arms.
