Get a recreation of one of the last $5 Indian Head gold pieces ever struck by the US government with the 1929 $5 Indian Head Proof from National Collector’s Mint.
This is a non-monetary replica of one of the rarest and most prized coins ever made in American history. When the original $5 Gold Indian was released in 1908 it initially shocked the public.
The design of the “Indian Head” is incuse, meaning it was sunken into the surface of the coin, rather than being raised above like coins traditionally were.
