Description

The $5 Gold Liberty Half Eagle is a cornerstone of America’s 19th-century coinage, admired for both its beauty and history. First issued in 1839, it remained in production until 1908—nearly 70 years, making it the longest-running design in U.S. gold coinage. The obverse depicts Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed with “LIBERTY,” while the reverse shows a heraldic eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch, symbols of defense and peace. Struck in 90% gold and 10% copper, the coin weighs 8.36 grams and measures 21.6 mm in diameter. Circulating widely during a period of American expansion, the Liberty Half Eagle represents both the artistry of its era and a tangible link to the nation’s past.
