Three Dollar gold coins, also known as Three Dollar pieces or "Princess" coins, were minted in the United States from 1854 to 1889. The 1855 Three Dollar gold coin features a design by James B. Longacre, showcasing a youthful Liberty on the obverse and an intricate wreath on the reverse. Although relatively small in size, these coins were representative of a time when gold was a key component of U.S. monetary policy and were intended for use in commerce and trade. The 1855 issue is particularly notable for its low mintage and is highly sought after by collectors, making it a significant piece in the realm of American numismatics.
