The Liberty Head $2.50 Gold Coin features a classic design by Chief Engraver Christian Gobrecht. The obverse displays Lady Liberty facing left, wearing a coronet inscribed “LIBERTY,” surrounded by thirteen stars and the year of issue. The reverse depicts a heraldic eagle with outstretched wings, holding an olive branch and arrows to symbolize peace and strength, with inscriptions denoting the coin’s face value. Coins minted after 1866 also include the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST.”

The Liberty Head $2.50 Gold Coin holds enduring value for both investors and collectors, offering a compelling combination of historic significance, gold content, and rarity. While it contains just over a tenth of a troy ounce of gold, its value often surpasses bullion due to its collectible appeal and pre-1933 U.S. gold status.
