Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the $5 Liberty Half Gold Eagle coin’s obverse displays Lady Liberty head in a left profile. Due to its unique design, the coin was named the “Liberty head coin.” The Lady wears a Phrygian cap with a decorated hair band that has “LIBERTY” written on it. The effigy is encircled by 13 stars, and the year of issue is at the bottom.

The reverse side of the gold coin depicts the heraldic eagle in the center, wearing a shield on its chest. The eagle holds an olive branch and a bundle of arrows in its talons that symbolizes peace and war. The heraldic eagle is the national symbol of the United States of America, and it represents freedom, strength, and immortality. Above the eagle is “In God we trust”, the motto of the US, engraved on a ribbon. This heraldic eagle is encircled by “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “FIVE D” displaying the country of issue and face value.

The $5 Liberty Half Gold Eagle coin

This gold coin has a profound history and an interesting story about its creation. Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the third chief engraver of the US Mint, it was designed in variations of the $2.50 quarter eagle, $5 half eagle, and $10 eagle coin. The US Mint minted the coin in Philadelphia, Carson City, Denver, New Orleans, and San Francisco facilities. Thus, the mint mark on the coin would differ based on the facility that minted it.
