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

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

The Liberty Head Gold Coin, struck from 1849 to 1889, captures the craftsmanship and essence of 19th-century America.

 It served as the official U.S. dollar coin from 1849 to 1854, featuring a design by James B. Longacre and containing .0483 troy ounces of gold. 

Longacre's third design for the Gold $1, known as the Indian Princess, was an update to his earlier Type II. The intricate design of the Type II led to minting errors, prompting Longacre to create a new, more refined depiction of Lady Liberty for the Type III version.

The Design

The obverse corresponds to the Indian Princess design. It portrays Lady Liberty wearing a fanciful feathered headdress, but to correct type II deficiencies, Longacre created a larger head for Liberty.

The headdress is inscribed with the word “LIBERTY,” while “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” encircles Liberty’s effigy. The image is inspired by the Venus Accroupie or Crouching Venus, a sculpture displayed at the Philadelphia Museum at the time.

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