This coinage pattern has been listed & photographed in the “Red Book” for many years. It is on page 92 of the 2020 issue under “Contract Issues and Patterns.” There are 2 known in copper & 4 known in “white metal.” One specimen was put in the U.S. Mint’s Cabinet collection in the early 1800s by Chief Coiner Adam Eckfeldt. Uniface trial strikes of the obverse & reverse also exist & are unique.

I too wasn’t aware of this variety. uspatterns lists a somewhat similar design (Pollock 14), possibly cut by David Rittenhouse but this is a new one for me. The image of Liberty is IMHO quite striking and would have made for a very attractive coin.
