  • Minting America: Coinage and the Contestation of American Identity, 1775-1800
    ABSTRACT MINTING AMERICA: COINAGE AND THE CONTESTATION OF AMERICAN IDENTITY, 1775-1800 by James Patrick Ambuske “Minting America” investigates the ideological and culture links between American identity and national coinage in the wake of the American Revolution. In the Confederation period and in the Early Republic, Americans contested the creation of a national mint to produce coins. The catastrophic failure of the paper money issued by the Continental Congress during the War for Independence inspired an ideological debate in which Americans considered the broader implications of a national coinage. More than a means to conduct commerce, many citizens of the new nation saw coins as tangible representations of sovereignty and as a mechanism to convey the principles of the Revolution to future generations. They contested the physical symbolism as well as the rhetorical iconology of these early national coins. Debating the stories that coinage told helped Americans in this period shape the contours of a national identity.

  • The Nineteenth Amendment Centennial Coin Project
    Take Action Now: The Nineteenth Amendment Centennial Coin Project Background Girl Scouts aims to inspire girls to be leaders in their own lives by building the courage, confidence, and character to raise their voices and be advocates of issues and ideas important to them. The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which gave women the right to vote. The Women's History and Nineteenth Amendment Centennial Quarter Dollar Coin Program Act (H.R. 1923, S. 2427) was introduced in the House of Representatives on March 27, 2019, by Representatives Barbara Lee (D-CA) and Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH). Identical legislation was introduced in the Senate on August 1, 2019, by Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Deb Fischer (R-NE). The legislation would authorize a series of quarters to be minted in honor of women’s history and suffrage. The Women’s History and Nineteenth Amendment Centennial Quarter Dollar Coin Program Act would create a new series of commemorative circulating coins that highlight women’s suffragists and other trailblazers from the District of Columbia and each state and territory in the United States. States would help choose the women and accomplishments they wish to recognize by working with community groups and organizations like Girl Scout councils. Take Action!

  • The Napoleon Series
    The Napoleon Series Officers of the Anhalt Duchies who Fought in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, 1789-1815: Anhalt, Leopold Ludwig, Count By Daniel Clarke Leopold Ludwig Count Anhalt was born on February 28, 1729, in Kleckewitz (Raguhn- Jeßnitz), in the Principality of Anhalt-Dessau. He was the second eldest son of Wilhelm Gustav, Hereditary Prince of Anhalt-Dessau and Johanne Sophie Herre. Therefore he was the brother of Albrecht (1735-1802) and Friedrich (1732-1794), and also half brother to Karl Philipp (1732-1806) and Heinrich Wilhelm (1734-1801). He married Karoline von Printzen in 1763, having one daughter, Wilhelmine Sophie Karoline. Leopold entered the service of Prussia in December 1745 during the War of Austrian Succession. He had been given the rank of Staff Captain and the position of Adjutant- General to general Leopold I, Prince of Anhalt-Dessau, who was his father’s father. On December 15 he was engaged in the Battle of Kesselsdorf, where his uncle defeated an army of Austrians and Saxons. Later, in April 1748, he became a Line Captain and commander of a company in the 3rd Infantry Regiment, Leopold Maximilian von Anhalt- Dessau. Then, during the early stages of the Seven Years’ Wars, he fought with his regiment at the Battle of Lobositz (Lovosice) in October 1756 and Prague in May 1757, where he was wounded three times. The severity of his wounds meant that Leopold only returned to active service in October 1759, but in the meantime he had been promoted to Major in February 1758. For Leopold, though, his first assignment when he returned turned out to be very unlucky.
