The obverse features experimental designs including the famous Stella ($4 gold piece) featuring Liberty with flowing hair or coiled hair and the reverse displays a five-pointed star containing the denomination FOUR DOL.. Minted during Reconstruction and the Gilded Age, as the nation healed from civil war and debated the role of silver and gold in the monetary system. Struck in other. A notable auction result reached $56K in PR64 grade at Bowers & Merena. Designed by Charles E. Barber (Flowing Hair) / George T. Morgan (Coiled Hair).
