5 Dollar Liberty Head Gold

5 Dollar Liberty Head Gold: the head of Liberty, a heraldic eagle and 7.52 g of fine gold

• Design: An eagle with wings spread wide, a striped shield on its breast, an olive branch and three arrows in its talons.
• Material / fineness: Gold making up nine tenths of the alloy, stated as 900/1,000; of its 8.35 g gross weight, 7.52 g is fine gold.
• Manufacturer: The US Mint, which strikes the coins of the United States.
• Size: Delicate, yet easy to grip.
• Strike: Raised and richly detailed, so that the design appears almost three-dimensional.

A woman's head as a symbol of freedom and an eagle with shield and arrows: these two designs define the 5 Dollar Liberty Head Gold from the United States Mint. The coin contains 7.52 g of fine gold and is one of the classic gold coins of the United States. Thanks to its compact format, it lets you build up a gold reserve coin by coin.

The head of Liberty

Liberty Head means exactly what it says: the head of Liberty. It refers to the portrait of a woman wearing a diadem, who embodies freedom and gives the coin its name. Because this design was struck over many decades, small details differ from one year of issue to another. It is precisely these subtle differences that give each piece a character of its own.

Olive branch and arrows in its talons

The reverse belongs to the eagle. It spreads its wings wide, bears a striped shield on its breast and holds an olive branch and three arrows in its talons. In the language of symbols, the branch stands for peace, while the arrows represent the readiness to defend oneself. Both suit a coin that is meant to protect your savings. The inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and FIVE D. name the country of origin and the face value, and the raised strike makes the image stand out almost sculpturally.

The Half Eagle in the American coinage system

Americans also know the coin as the Half Eagle, since the ten-dollar gold piece was called the Eagle. There were also other gold coins with the eagle in their name, from the small Quarter Eagle to the large Double Eagle. With a gross weight of 8.35 g, the 5-dollar coin sits lightly in the hand and can be stored discreetly. All pieces are circulated coins in standard bank quality, which is why their state of preservation can vary from one coin to the next.

A value that crosses borders

For centuries, gold carried trade between distant regions, on the Silk Road as well as after the discovery of new continents. To this day, it is traded worldwide and recognised as a currency. As an inflation hedge, it preserves the purchasing power of your savings because its quantity cannot be expanded at will, quite unlike paper money.

Gold is also regarded as a proven form of crisis protection, as it is in demand precisely in politically or economically uncertain times. You pay no VAT on purchase, as the coin is investment gold.
