Mormon gold coins refer to a series of gold coins minted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church or Mormon Church) in the mid-19th century, specifically around 1849. These coins were produced in the Salt Lake Valley to facilitate trade among the early settlers. The five-dollar denomination, similar in design to U.S. gold coins of the period, was one of the most commonly minted. While they carry historical significance, genuine Mormon gold coins are quite rare and sought after by collectors, particularly those with mint marks from Philadelphia.
