What does STELLA mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A United States pattern coin worth four dollars, struck in 1879 and 1880 with a metal content based on the metric system, intended for international use.
The stella was proposed as an American coin that could circulate alongside European gold coins by matching their metric weight, and the Mint struck a small number of pattern pieces in 1879 and 1880 to test the idea. Congress never approved it for general circulation, so surviving examples are rare and highly sought by coin collectors today. The name comes from the star design stamped on its reverse.
