Introduced in 1908 and designed by Bela Lyon Pratt, the Indian Gold Half Eagle is a historic piece of U.S. currency. This series was groundbreaking for its incuse-strike design, which sets the artwork below the coin’s surface. It also helped bring indigenous imagery to American coinage.

Obverse

The obverse of the 1910 $5 Indian Gold Half Eagle features Bela Lyon Pratts iconic depiction of an indigenous figure. The design includes a left-profile view of the figure wearing a feathered headdress, surrounded by 13 stars. The word LIBERTY is inscribed above the image, with the date of issue appearing below.

Reverse

On the reverse of the coin, Pratt illustrates a bald eagle perched on a bundle of arrows. The arrows are tied with an olive branch, symbolizing both strength and peace. This reverse design is similar in concept to the $10 Indian Eagle but has a more compact presentation.

History

The Indian Gold Half Eagle was struck by the U.S. Mint from 1908 to 1916, with one additional issue in 1929. Four mint facilities contributed to the series, including Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco, and New Orleans. The 1910 coins were produced at Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Denver.
