$1 Indian Princess Liberty Head Gold Coin Type III AU - Random Year

$1 Liberty Head Gold Coin Type III AU - Random Year

Struck from 1849 to 1889, The Liberty Head Gold Coin embodies the spirit and craftsmanship of 19th-century America.

It was the official dollar coin in the US from 1849 to 1854, crafted with James B. Longacre’s design and containing .0483 Troy oz of gold.

James B. Longacre’s third design for the Gold $1 is a revamped version of his Type II, known as the Indian Princess. Because of the intricate design, Type II coinage presented errors, and Longacre provided a new portrayal of Lady Liberty in Type III.

The Design

The obverse features the Indian Princess design, which showcases Lady Liberty wearing a fanciful feathered headdress, the same as type II. However, correcting type II deficiencies, Longacre came up with a larger head for Liberty.

The word “LIBERTY” is inscribed on the headdress, and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” encircles the bust. The image is inspired by the Venus Accroupie or Crouching Venus, a sculpture displayed at the Philadelphia Museum at the time.

The reverse design remains the same. It displays the coin’s face value and year of issuance surrounded by the “agricultural wheat,” which comprises cotton, corn, tobacco, and wheat.
