The 1856 $10 Liberty Gold coin, struck at the New Orleans Mint, is part of the Liberty Head series, which was produced from 1838 to 1907. This particular issue is notable for its lack of a motto, distinguishing it from other examples in the series that feature "In God We Trust." The coin is composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, weighing approximately 16.718 grams and measuring 26 mm in diameter. Its historical context and the limited mintage contribute to its appeal among collectors, particularly those focusing on type coins and the gold coinage of the United States.
