The first Phrygian cap in modern times appeared in a coins design in France in 1791, through the Illustration, Masonry and Politics of the time. This representation of Liberty was adopted in the very first year of issuing the American coinage of 1793 and lasted until 1877 or there about with the last Seated Liberty coin series. Here is that first French 12 deniers of 1791, however this design also appeared in the sous coins as well. Other countries such as Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay have used it too.
