The 1876 $3 Princess Gold coin is a notable collectible from the United States, minted in Philadelphia. It features a design by renowned engraver James B. Longacre and depicts a young female figure, often referred to as "Liberty," wearing a crown and surrounded by stars. Struck in a composition of 90% gold and 10% copper, the coin is part of the larger $3 gold series that was produced from 1854 to 1889. Its limited mintage and historical significance contribute to its desirability among numismatists and collectors.
