The third and final design of the $1 Gold Coin from the United States Mint was known as the Indian Gold Coin. The coin design was so-named because the bust of Liberty was no longer topped with a coronet crown, and instead featured a feathered headdress.

Obverse

Liberty is found on the obverse of the Pre-33 $1 Indian Gold Coins Type 3. Designed in 1856 by James B. Longacre, this bust of Liberty was featured on the obverse of the coins until 1889 and depicts Liberty in left-profile relief with a tall feathered headdress on her head. The original design of 13 stars round Libertys bust is gone on the Type 3 and replaced by United States of America.

Reverse

The coin denomination is featured on the reverse of Pre-33 $1 Indian Gold Coins. The original design on this face of the coin has a smaller wreath with the nation of issue inscribed around the field. However, these Type 3 coins have an inscription of 1 Dollar and a date mark in the center with a larger wreath around the entire design field.

History

Pre-33 $1 Indian Gold Coins featured three different obverse designs and two different reverse designs. This reverse design on the Type 3 coin is actually the Type 2 image for the reverse. James B. Longacre redesigned this side in 1854 and it was used with the Type 2 and Type 3 obverse designs.
