The Four Dollar Stella is a gold coin that was minted in the United States in 1879 and 1880. It was intended to facilitate international trade and was produced in response to the monetary system's limitations at the time. Weighing 8.359 grams and composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, the coin features a distinctive design with a glory emanating from the head of Liberty on the obverse and a wreath with the denomination on the reverse. The 1880 issue was notably minted at the West Point Mint, and its limited production makes it a sought-after collectible among numismatists.
