The Mormon Gold Pieces, also known as the California Gold Rush coins, were minted in 1849 by the Deseret Mint in Salt Lake City, Utah Territory, during a period of significant gold discovery and economic growth. These coins were issued by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and reflect the unique historical context of the Mormon community. The most notable denominations include the $5 gold piece, often featuring symbols and inscriptions that represent the faith. Due to their limited mintage and historical significance, Mormon Gold Pieces are highly sought after by collectors and numismatists.
