I've added the obverse and reverse of the 1794 large cent to this article. Floaterfluss (talk) (contribs) 15:11, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] How large is large?
The article states that the large cents measure between 27mm and 29mm, but without a ruler at hand, I don't really know how large that is. Is it as large as a quarter? -ErinHowarth (talk) 04:59, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- It's large compared to most coins. A quarter is about 24.25mm and a dollar coin is now 26.5mm, so it is larger than either. I suggest read articles about the coins of various currecies that have a table of the coins showing the their diameters, for example Coins of the Australian dollar or Coins of the Canadian dollar#Specifications.
