Mormon Gold Pieces refer to a series of gold coins minted between 1849 and 1860 by the Deseret Mint in Salt Lake City, Utah, during the early years of the Mormon settlement. A notable type is the 1860 Mormon Gold Piece, which was produced in denominations of $2.50, $5, and $10. These coins were made to facilitate trade and commerce among Mormons and represented their efforts to create an independent economy. They are sought after by collectors for their historical significance and limited mintage.
