coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ $4 (Four Dollars) \ $4 Stella Gold \ 1880 \ Philadelphia
The $4 Stella gold coin was issued by the United States in 1879 and 1880 as a proposed denomination for international trade. Struck in 22-karat gold, it features a design by famed engraver Charles E. Barber. The 1880 version, minted in Philadelphia, is particularly sought after by collectors due to its limited mintage and unique status as a non-circulating coin. The coin's obverse depicts a star and Liberty, while the reverse features a laurel wreath with the inscription "Four Dollars." Its rarity and historical significance contribute to its high value in the numismatic market.
