An authentic and scarce 1868 United States 1 Dollar Gold Coin, belonging to the classic Type 3 "Large Indian Princess Head" series designed by U.S. Mint Chief Engraver James Barton Longacre.

• Reverse: Displays the denomination "1 DOLLAR" and the date "1868" encircled by an agricultural wreath composed of cotton, tobacco, corn, and wheat tied with a ribbon at the base.
