Congress authorized the U.S. Mint to produce the $5 gold piece, or Half Eagle, on April 2, 1792, the same day it authorized the creation of the Mint itself. As the first gold coin minted by the U.S. government, the Gold Half Eagle underwent several design changes throughout its existence. Liberty Heads were minted from 1839-1908. The Liberty Head Coronet Type with Motto -- as depicted in this 1899 issue --remains one of the most recognized and treasured variations.
