Obverse

In the obverse design of the Pre-33 Indian Princess Gold Coin, youll find the Type III Liberty image. This design was created by Chief Engraver James B. Longacre and represents the last major version used on the $1 Gold Coin series. Produced from 1856 through 1889, the Type III obverse features a larger Indian Princess portrait with a feathered headdress, taking up more space on the coins surface and giving the design a bolder overall look compared to earlier releases.

Reverse

For the reverse of the Pre-33 $1 Indian Princess Gold Coins, the design includes a fuller wreath surrounding the denomination. The wreath design is more substantial than earlier versions, giving the reverse a cleaner and more balanced layout that improved the overall visual appeal of the coin.

History

Circulation of the Type III $1 US Gold Coin was limited throughout its production run, as these coins were frequently set aside or shipped overseas due to their gold content. Even though millions were struck at different US Mint facilities such as Philadelphia, Dahlonega, Charlotte, New Orleans, and San Francisco, many dates are still hard to locate in worn condition, showing that a large number of these coins were never widely used in everyday trade. Since paper money and larger coins were easier to handle in commerce, these small gold pieces were often considered inconvenient for routine spending.
