The Liberty Head Half Eagle, a five-dollar gold coin, was produced by the United States Mint from 1839 to 1908. The 1856 issue specifically minted at the Dahlonega Mint is noteworthy due to its limited production and historical significance, as the Dahlonega facility was primarily active in the 19th century. These coins feature a portrait of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse, embodying both artistic value and numismatic interest, particularly among collectors focused on 19th-century American gold coins. The Dahlonega mintmark, "D," adds to its rarity and desirability among collectors.
