Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Coronet Head $10 Gold Coin (1866-1907) is that it was the first gold coin to feature the motto "In God We Trust," which was added to the coin's design in 1866. This motto was a response to the increased religious sentiment in the United States during the Civil War era and has remained a prominent feature on many US coins ever since.
