This gold coin takes its name from its designer, the famous American sculptor, Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The front depicts Liberty holding a staff and olive branch as she walks from the sun. The date appears to the viewer's right of Liberty. The word 'LIBERTY' arcs above her.
One of only two coins designed by America's most acclaimed sculptor, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, this $10 gold coin is one of the most exquisite gold coins our nation has ever struck. The $10 Indian Head's obverse (front) features the head of Liberty, donning an Indian war bonnet that reads 'LIBERTY'.
The $5 Indian gold coin is one of two coins designed by sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt. The front pictures an Indian chief, the first true American Indian ever to appear on United States coinage. The chief on the Indian Head is wearing a full-feathered headdress with the word 'LIBERTY' inscribed on the headband.
The $3 Indian Princess gold coin is considered one of the most unusual coins the United States Mint has ever produced. The $3 gold coin, although minted during the years of the Liberty series of gold coins, is commonly referred to as the Indian Princess due to the design on the front of the gold coin.
Sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt designed the $2.50 and $5 Indian Head gold coins. The coin obverse (front) pictures an Indian chief wearing a full-feathered headdress with the word 'LIBERTY' inscribed on the headband. A border of 13 stars and the minting date encircle him.
James B. Longacre designed the first gold dollar in 1849 shortly after it was authorized by the Act of March 3, 1849. In 1854, Longacre restyled this Liberty Head gold dollar (referred to as a Type I gold dollar) to display an Indian princess, creating the Indian Head Type II gold dollar.
