Mormon Gold Pieces refer to a specific series of coins minted in 1849 during the California Gold Rush, primarily in Salt Lake City, Utah. These coins were produced by the Mormon pioneers and are notable for their historical significance and unique design, which often featured religious symbols and inscriptions. The most common denominations include the $2.50 and $5 pieces, with limited mintage making them rare and sought after by collectors. Their connection to the early settlement of the American West adds to their desirability among numismatists.
