Most of the silver coinage, like the half dime (worth 5 cents and struck in silver, the nickel wouldn't be minted until much later), the dime, the quarter, and the half-dollar used the seated Liberty design along with the silver dollar. The penny was a lot larger than the penny we use today, closer to the size of a half dollar, and used the braided hair design. There was also a three-cent piece which was really small, made out of silver and had a star on one side and a C and III on the other. There was also a small gold dollar, smaller than a dime but made out of 90% pure gold. There were other gold coins too, the quarter eagle, worth $2.50, half eagle worth $5, eagle worth $10, along with the double eagle worth $20, each of them struck with 90% pure gold (alloyed with 10% copper to make the coins scratch and wear resistant).
