Draped Bust Half Eagles refer to a series of gold coins minted in the United States, specifically designed with the image of Liberty draped in flowing robes on the obverse and a majestic eagle on the reverse. The 1797 Draped Bust Half Eagle features a denomination of five dollars and is notable for its historical significance, being one of the earliest designs used in U.S. gold coinage. This coin is highly sought after by collectors due to its rarity, intricate design, and representation of early American numismatics. The 1797 edition is particularly valued for its limited mintage and the era's characteristic craftsmanship.
