Historical Significance of the Type Two Gold Dollar

The United States Gold Dollar series was introduced in 1849, spurred by the California Gold Rush, providing a convenient small denomination gold coin for commerce. The Type Two Gold Dollar, minted for only two years (1854-1855), is recognized for its unique design featuring an elegant Indian Princess with a feathered headdress, encircled by thirteen stars. This design succeeded the Liberty Head (Type One) and preceded the larger, more mature Indian Princess (Type Three). Its short mintage period makes the Type Two particularly scarce and highly sought after by collectors today. The 1855 issue is a pivotal year for this distinctive and short-lived type.
