The 1843 $5 Liberty Gold, known as the "No Motto" variety, was minted in Philadelphia and is part of the Liberty Head series, which features a portrait of Lady Liberty on the obverse.

The absence of a motto on the reverse distinguishes it from later issues that included the phrase "In God We Trust." Collectors value this coin for its historical significance, gold content, and relative scarcity in the marketplace.
