Additional Description: Minted at the Philadelphia Mint in 1911, this Indian Head five-dollar gold coin exemplifies Bela Lyon Pratt’s innovative incuse design, featuring a Native American profile with a headdress on the obverse and a prominent eagle on the reverse. Believed to grade Fine, the coin shows moderate circulation wear while maintaining clear detail in both the portrait and the eagle. Philadelphia strikes of this period were intended for everyday use, and the coin’s even surfaces and gentle toning reflect its life in commerce. It offers collectors a direct connection to the artistry and economic history of early twentieth-century America.
