The Liberty Head Half Eagle is a gold coin designed by Christian Gobrecht, minted in the United States from 1839 to 1908. The specific type referred to as the "1850 Charlotte" half eagle was minted at the Charlotte Mint in North Carolina and features a left-facing bust of Lady Liberty on the obverse, with the inscription "LIBERTY." The reverse displays an eagle with a shield, with the denomination of "FIVE D.," which designates it as a five-dollar coin. Charlotte Mint coins are more scarce than their Philadelphia counterparts due to a lower mintage and greater wear over time, making them particularly sought after by collectors.
