The $3 Princess Gold coin, officially known as the $3 gold piece, was minted by the United States from 1854 to 1889. The 1862 issue is notable for its design, featuring a portrait of Liberty wearing a diadem inscribed with the word "Liberty" on the obverse, and a bold numeral "3" on the reverse, surrounded by an olive and a laurel branch. This coin was created primarily for international commerce and to facilitate transactions in large volumes, with a total weight of approximately 5 grams. The $3 Princess Gold is a relatively rare collectible, with lower mintage figures contributing to its appeal among numismatists.
