"1862" (ca. 1870s) Great Seal of the Confederacy. Electrotype. Musante GW-564, Baker-Unlisted. Copper Shell. Mint State. With Original Case. Approximately 96.0 mm. Obverse with subtle pinkish-rose undertones to dominant medium brown. Framed beneath glass and set within a maroon leather exterior, orange plush interior case that measures 127.0 mm x 128.0 mm x 27.5 mm when closed. The case opens like a book, the interior also flipping to reveal the unenclosed reverse of the shell. With functional clasp, exterior moderately and heavily scuffed and somewhat faded. The original seal design was finalized on April 30, 1863, and features an equestrian Washington portrait at center, with the inscription, THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA : 22 FEBRUARY 1862 * DEO VINDICE * around. Readers of this catalog will likely know that February 22nd was Washington's birthday, but it was also the day selected for CSA President Jefferson Davis' inauguration. The original embossing dies were produced by Joseph S. Wyon in England, and shipped to the Confederate States. Electrotype copies such as this are said to have been made in the 1870s and sold in limited numbers to raise funds for the benefit of Confederate widows and orphans, according to research by Neil Musante.
