United States silver dime (Seated Liberty dime). Obverse shows Liberty seated on a rock holding a shield in her right hand and a pole with a liberty cap in her left hand, surrounded by stars (likely 13). Reverse reads ”UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” around a wreath with bow at bottom, with ”ONE” over ”DIME” in the center.
