The specific coin from 1859 was produced at the Dahlonega Mint in Georgia, which was known for minting gold coins during the American Gold Rush. The obverse features a portrait of Liberty, while the reverse displays an eagle with a shield, indicative of the coin's status as legal tender. Coins from the Dahlonega Mint are particularly sought after by collectors due to their limited mintage and historical significance.
