The Fascinating History Of The 1879 $4 Gold Stella Flowing Hair Coin

This coin was intended as a United States trade coin. This coin was made of 'Metric Gold' which consisted of .857 fineness, as opposed to .999 fineness of regular United States gold coins. This coin was struck for just two years, with the mintage of the flowing hair Stella, and the mintage of the coiled hair Stella. The flowing hair Stella was created by Charles E. Barber, and the coiled hair Stella was created by George T. Morgan.
