Interesting fact
The "Large Indian Head" dollar coin, also known as the "Type 3" dollar, features an interesting design element - the portrait of Lady Liberty on the obverse (front side) was designed to resemble a Native American woman, specifically a Plains Indian princess. This design was created by Mint Engraver James B. Longacre and was meant to symbolize the idea of freedom and the American West.
