This specimen is a coronet head half eagle coin minted and issued by the United States in AD 1901, with a face value of 5 dollar, with a coin bezel.

The obverse of the coin features a profile portrait of the Statue of Liberty, wearing a crown inscribed with the word “LIBERTY,” adorned with 13 stars encircling the portrait as decoration. Below the portrait is the year of coinage, “1901.”

The reverse of the coin depicts a spread-winged eagle with a shield on its chest, clutching three arrows and an olive branch in its talons. Above the eagle is a scroll inscribed with the words “IN GOD WE TRUST.” Surrounding the eagle is the inscription “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. FIVE D.”

The mint mark of this series of eagle coins is located beneath the eagle’s talons. The letter “S” signifies that this coin was minted at the San Francisco Mint. The San Francisco Mint was completed in AD 1854. The gold rush in California during the 1840s and 1850s led to a significant influx of population into California, and the volume of gold transportation increased year by year. Therefore, the American government announced the establishment of a mint in San Francisco in AD 1852.

United States eagle coins were issued by the United States Mint from AD 1795 to the 1930s, in denominations of quarter eagle ($2.50), half eagle ($5), eagle ($10), and double eagle ($20). This coin belongs to the half eagle denomination, issued from AD 1795 to AD 1929.

This coin belongs to the design period of AD 1866 – AD 1907. Its features include the obverse portrayal of the Statue of Liberty, the LIBERTY crown, and the banner above the eagle on the reverse with motto inscriptions.

In God We Trust:
This phrase first appeared during the American Civil War and was adopted as the national motto of the United States by an act of Congress in AD 1956. It has since been printed on many issued banknotes and coins.
