The 1897 $20 Liberty Gold Coin, Type 3, minted in San Francisco, is part of the Liberty Head series that was produced by the United States from 1849 to 1907. Type 3 coins feature a modified design with a more prominent depiction of Liberty, characterized by a smaller date and different arrangement of stars compared to earlier types. The coin contains 0.9675 ounces of gold and is valued both for its precious metal content and its historical significance in American numismatics. Collectors often seek this coin for its representation of the late 19th-century economy and artistry in U.S. coinage.
