The gold dollar—also known as the one-dollar gold piece—was struck by the United States Mint from 1849 to 1889. Designed by Mint Chief Engraver James B. Longacre, the coin was produced in three distinct types during its lifespan:

• Type 1 (1849–1854): Liberty wearing a coronet

• Type 2 (1854–1856): Liberty depicted as an Indian Princess (this coin)

• Type 3 (1856–1889): Indian Princess with a larger head

The Type 2 variety, introduced in 1854, features a more intricate and symbolic portrait of Liberty but was only minted for a short time due to striking issues, making it especially desirable among collectors.
