The 1854 Liberty Gold $2.50 (Two and a Half Dollar) coin, minted in Dahlonega, Georgia, is a notable example of pre-Civil War U.S. gold coinage. This coin features the classic Liberty head design on the obverse, symbolizing freedom and liberty, and an eagle on the reverse, representing strength. The Dahlonega Mint, operational from 1838 to 1861, primarily produced gold coins due to the Gold Rush in the region. The 1854 issue is particularly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage.
