The 230th Anniversary Flowing Hair High Relief Gold Coin:

The Header/Banner presents the Obverse and Reverse of the $1 (One Dollar) Gold Coin.

This Gold Coin showcases the same iconic design as the first dollar coin issued by the United States in 1794. 

A beautiful complement to the 230th Anniversary Silver Medal released last month, both pay homage to the growth of the Nation. 

This beautiful gold coin will be available November 14 and is a  highly coveted piece of history.

The 230th Anniversary Flowing Hair High Relief Gold Coin pays homage to the Flowing Hair dollar coin, issued on October 15, 1794, by the U.S. Federal Government as America’s first dollar coin. 

Under the guidance of Mint Director David Rittenhouse, Mint Chief Engraver Robert Scot designed the first silver dollar coin with government oversight of the process.

The Coin:

This high relief gold coin is a tribute to the first Flowing Hair dollar, with modern reproductions of the original obverse and reverse designs.

The Obverse and Reverse of the $1 Gold $1 replica placed side by side.

The Obverse (heads) design of the $1 (One Dollar) Coin is a faithful rendition of the first dollar coin struck by the U.S. Federal Government. 

The portrait of Liberty faces right and is surrounded by 15 stars, representing the fifteen states that had ratified the Constitution by 1794. The design retains the “LIBERTY” inscription and includes an updated “2024” date. 

The denomination is incused on the edge as “HUNDRED CENTS ONE DOLLAR OR UNIT.”

The Reverse (heads) design of the $1 (One Dollar) Coin (tail) design stays true to the 1794 original, depicting a laurel wreath surrounding an eagle with spread wings in the center, an early predecessor of the American heraldic eagle. The inscription is “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.” 

To complement this historic design, the coin is encapsulated and placed in a stylish clamshell. 

- A classic black presentation case embellished with the United States Mint seal and an outer sleeve with a gold embossed image of the Flowing Hair dollar complete the packaging. 

- The coin includes a unique Certificate of Authenticity (COA) with matching imagery.
