The 1901 $5 Liberty Gold coin, often referred to as the "Liberty Head" coin, features a design by engraver James Barton Longacre. Struck in 90% gold and 10% copper, this coin contains approximately 0.2419 troy ounces of gold. The obverse depicts the female Liberty with a coronet, while the reverse features an eagle with a shield. The issue includes the motto "In God We Trust," which was included on coins starting in 1866 but is not present on all struck years. The 1901 edition is part of a series minted from 1839 to 1908, and its numismatic value can be influenced by factors such as its condition, rarity, and market demand.
