The 1850 G$1 Gold Type 1 coin, also known as the Gold Dollar, was minted as part of the United States’ early efforts to create small denomination gold currency. It features a Liberty head design on the obverse and a wreath on the reverse. The Type 1 variant specifically refers to the design used from 1849 to 1854, characterized by its smaller size and weight of approximately 1.67 grams of pure gold. These coins are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and limited mintage.
