The 230th Anniversary Flowing Hair High Relief Gold Coin pays tribute to the historic Flowing Hair dollar, which was first issued by the U.S. Federal Government on October 15, 1794, making it America’s inaugural dollar coin. Designed by Mint Chief Engraver Robert Scot under the direction of Mint Director David Rittenhouse, this coin represents a significant milestone in American numismatic history.
This high relief gold coin captures the essence of the original Flowing Hair dollar with its carefully reproduced obverse and reverse designs.
On the obverse, you’ll find a faithful rendition of Liberty, facing right and surrounded by 15 stars that symbolize the states that had ratified the Constitution by 1794. The design retains the inscription “LIBERTY” along with the updated date of “2024.” Additionally, the edge of the coin features the denomination, incused as “HUNDRED CENTS ONE DOLLAR OR UNIT.”
The reverse design remains true to the 1794 original, showcasing a laurel wreath encircling an eagle with its wings spread—a precursor to the American heraldic eagle. The inscription reads “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”
To enhance this historic piece, the coin is encapsulated in a stylish clamshell and presented in a classic black case adorned with the United States Mint seal. The outer sleeve features a gold-embossed image of the Flowing Hair dollar, making for a striking presentation. Each coin is accompanied by a unique certificate of authenticity that features matching imagery.
Don’t miss the opportunity to add this exquisite and meaningful design to your collection.
