The 1897 Mormon Gold Ten Dollar coin, officially known as the "Mormon Gold" piece, was minted by the Deseret Mint in Salt Lake City, Utah. It features a distinctive design that showcases the biblical reference to the "Golden Plates," a key component of the Mormon faith. These coins were struck to provide currency for the Mormon community during a period when traditional U.S. gold coins were scarce. The 1897 issue holds significance among collectors due to its historical context and limited mintage, making it a sought-after item in American numismatics.
