1797 Turban Head Gold Eagle Replica Archival Edition

Introduced in 1795, the $10 gold coin made its debut only 3 years after the creation of the U.S. Mint. Robert Scot, the Mint's first chief engraver, designed the coin using classic Greek coinage as inspiration. On the obverse is the profile of a youthful Miss Liberty wearing a cloth cap, which would later be referred to as a "turban.” The reverse of the Turban Head Gold Eagle had a skinny eagle perched on an olive branch and holding a laurel wreath. After 2 years of criticism, Scot revised the reverse to feature a heraldic eagle based on the Great Seal. The 1797 Turban Head Gold Eagle was the last coin with the "Small Eagle Reverse." Available exclusively from American Mint, this magnificent replica has been meticulously reproduced from one of the most famous coins in American history. Now you can have a 1797 Turban Head Gold Eagle that has been beautifully accented in .9995 pure platinum in your collection for an incredible price!
