The Design:
Designed by Bela Lyon Pratt, the $5 Indian Head Half Eagle broke tradition with its incuse design, where the images and inscriptions are recessed below the surface of the coin. The obverse features a Native American chief in full headdress, surrounded by 13 stars and the word “LIBERTY.” The reverse displays a stoic bald eagle perched on a bundle of arrows and an olive branch, flanked by the mottos “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”
This innovative design was controversial at the time but is now widely regarded as one of the most unique and artistic coins ever issued by the U.S. Mint.
Minted during a time of rapid change in American history—from the Progressive Era through World War I—these coins are a tangible link to the country’s past. Their distinct artistic features, historical importance, and classic gold content make them a smart and timeless investment.
