The 1881 Type III Indian Princess Gold Dollar was struck during a period of relative economic stability and growth following the long depression that had begun in 1873. This 1881 Indian Princess Gold Dollar comes from the latter years of this series and had an incredibly low mintage of just 87 coins. Right now, the 1881 Pre-33 $1 Indian Princess Gold Coin is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1881 Pre-33 $1 Indian Princess Gold Coin is in PR64 condition and has a CAM designation. This designation refers to the raised, frosted designs with reflective, mirrored backgrounds.
By 1881, America was experiencing renewed prosperity driven by continued industrialization, railroad expansion, and agricultural abundance, though tensions persisted over monetary policy between advocates of the gold standard and those supporting silver coinage—debates that had produced the Bland-Allison Act of 1878 requiring limited silver purchases. The economy was in transition toward becoming a true industrial powerhouse, though the gold dollar itself was increasingly impractical for everyday commerce due to its tiny size, and the denomination would be discontinued two years later in 1889.
In the obverse of 1881 Pre-33 Indian Princess Gold Coin, the design features a left-profile bust of Lady Liberty. This Type III specimen features the third-and-final iteration of the Liberty portrait for this series, with a larger Liberty head shown wearing a feathered headdress.
For the reverse of the 1881 Indian Princess Gold Coin, you’ll find the image of a wreath with the denomination at the center. The Type III reverse maintains the changes made with the debut of the Type II in 1854, enhancing the size of the wreath and enclosing the denomination and year of issue inside the wreath.
