The $3 Princess Gold coin, minted in 1873 at the Philadelphia Mint, is a rare and historically significant piece of United States coinage. Featuring a design by James B. Longacre, the obverse depicts a profile of Lady Liberty, adorned with a crowned headband, while the reverse displays a bold "3" within a wreath. This coin was part of a short-lived series produced from 1854 to 1889, primarily designed to facilitate transactions in the growing market for jewelry, but it is now highly sought after by collectors due to its limited mintage and unique denomination.
