The 1871 Liberty Gold $2.50 coin, also known as the Two and a Half Dollar, is a collectible piece of U.S. numismatics. This coin features a depiction of Lady Liberty on the obverse, while the reverse displays an eagle with a shield. Struck during the era of the Liberty Head design, these coins were minted in 90% gold and are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and gold content. The 1871 issue is notable for its limited mintage and is part of a series that reflects the transitional period of American coinage in the late 19th century.
