Indian Head Gold Half Eagle
Along with the Double Eagle, Eagle and Quarter Eagle, this coin was part of President Theodore Roosevelt's plan to invigorate America's coinage. Bela Lyon Pratt's Half Eagle design followed the same radical design approach he used for the Indian Head Quarter Eagle. Unlike traditional coin designs where all the design elements, as well as the rim, are in raised relief above a flat field, Pratt employed an incuse approach, in which the design elements are recessed below the surface. Because there is no raised rim the flat field is the highest surface on the coin.
Liberty Head Gold Half Eagle
The Liberty Head Half Eagle, also known as a Coronet Head Half Eagle, was widely used by the general public because of its practical $5 denomination. That amount often represented a week's wages for the average worker, especially during the earlier years of the coin's issue. In 1866 the motto In God We Trust was added to the reverse above the eagle, though both Motto and No Motto varieties were produced in that same year.
