The Liberty Head was minted from 1839 and the coin was designed by Christian Gobrecht. The coin is also known as Coronet Head because the obverse features a bust portrait of Lady Liberty wearing a coronet with inscription “LIBERTY” on it.

The reverse design features a heraldic eagle with a shield on its breast and holding olive branches and arrows in its talons, design inspired from the Great Seal of United States. Has inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “FIVE D,” and “IN GOD WE TRUST.”

The Liberty Head is classified into two groups based on the reverse design. The coins minted from 1839­-1866 are known as coins without motto which do not have the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST.” The coins minted from 1866­-1908 have the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST” on a banner above the eagle.
