Mormon Gold Pieces, also known as the Gold Rush coins, were minted in 1850 in the Salt Lake Valley by the Mormon settlers. They are notable for their historical significance and rarity, with denominations including the G 5 (five-dollar piece) being particularly sought after by collectors. These coins were crafted from gold found in the mines during the California Gold Rush and reflect the unique circumstances of their production in the context of westward expansion in the United States. Due to their limited mintage and connection to the early Mormon community, they hold considerable value in the numismatic market.
