Mormon gold coins were issued by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during the California Gold Rush. The notable 10 Dollar coins, minted in 1849 in Philadelphia, were primarily used to provide currency for the early Mormons in their settlement efforts. These coins are recognized for their historical significance and are sought after by collectors due to their rarity and connection to early American history. The 10 Dollar denomination features distinct designs that reflect both the artistry of the time and the unique cultural heritage of the Mormon community.
