My Precious Collection

I have a very special collection of ancient coins. It was a gift from my grandfather. He gave me the
coin when I was ten years old. I just found out recently that the coin is very rare because there are
only five of it in the world. This condition makes me realize that my collection is very precious.

The size of the coin is not big. The diameter is around 2,5 cm and the thickness is around 2 mm. The
first side of the coin shows the image of Liberty's head facing the left side. I recognize it as Liberty
because the image has a tiara on the head with the word "Liberty" written on it. There are thirteen
stars spread around the head and the number 1913 is written under the head. Short stripes are
engraved around the edge. The second side shows the letter "V" in the center of it surrounded by the
image of flowers. The words "United States Of America" and "Cents" are printed around the image
in the center.
