Mormon Gold Pieces are a series of gold coins minted in the mid-19th century by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City, Utah. These coins, typically issued in denominations of $5, $10, and $20, were created to facilitate trade and commerce during a time when the region was developing independently of the U.S. monetary system. The coins feature designs that often include symbols significant to the Mormon faith, such as the beehive, representing industry. Due to their historical significance and limited mintage, Mormon Gold Pieces are highly sought after by collectors and can command significant premiums in the market.
