AMERICAN HISTORY IN GOLD COINAGE
The $5 Liberty Head series stands as an enduring testament to the numismatic heritage of the United States, holding the distinction of being the longest-running coin design in the nation's rich history. Introduced in 1839 and spanning until 1908, these gold coins, also known as half eagles, boast a classic design by Christian Gobrecht.
The obverse features Lady Liberty adorned with a coronet inscribed with the word "LIBERTY," while the reverse showcases a majestic eagle with outstretched wings. The series underwent several modifications over its nearly seven-decade span, reflecting the evolving artistic and technological landscape of the 19th century.
Today, these coins serve not only as exquisite relics of a bygone era but also as tangible windows into the economic and cultural tapestry of the United States during a transformative period in its history.
