Mormon Gold Pieces were a series of gold coins minted in 1849 by the Mormon community in Salt Lake City, Utah. These coins were struck primarily for trade and to establish a local economy following the arrival of Mormon settlers. The coins featured designs that included the beehive, a symbol of industry and community, and were imprinted with inscriptions indicating their denominations. The G20 denomination refers to a 20-dollar gold piece, which is one of the denominations issued by the Mormons. These coins are highly collectible due to their historical significance and limited mintage.
