Interesting fact

The Indian Head eagle, also known as the Coronet eagle, was a $10 gold coin struck by the United States Mint from 1838 to 1907 and then again in 1933. It was designed by Christian Gobrecht and features a left-facing portrait of Lady Liberty wearing a feathered headdress. The coin's obverse side bears the motto "E Pluribus Unum" ("Out of many, one"), which was added in 1838. The Indian Head eagle was made of 90% gold and 10% copper, and it weighed 16.718 grams. It was a widely used coin in its time and remains popular among collectors today.
