I'm trying to identify a coin that has a specific design on it. The coin features 12 stars and I'm wondering if anyone knows which coin this could be. I'm not sure if it's a common coin or a rare one, but I'm hoping to find out more information about it.

In this era, much of the peripheral design was either punched-in or engraved onto each die.
