The two-cent billon was a pattern US coin struck in 1836 and initially proposed as part of the Act of January 13, 1837.[1] Versions exist with either a reeded edge and coin orientation or a plain edge and medal orientation; however, those with the former tend to be original strikes, whereas the latter are always proof restrikes (most from the 1850s).[2]
