The words 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', the denomination of the $10 Liberty gold coin and the Mint Mark surround the bald eagle.

Its talons clutch both a collection of three arrows and an olive branch. The reverse of the Liberty gold coin is equally striking, depicting an eagle with outstretched wings and the Union shield on its breast. The original Liberty gold coins minted in 1838 and early 1839 have a somewhat different design than the Liberty gold coins that were minted for the remainder of 1839 through 1907, specifically the shape of Lady Liberty's neck. She wears a coronet on her head inscribed with the word 'Liberty.' 13 stars border the coin and the date of issue is prominently featured below Lady Liberty. The front of the coin features the side profile of Lady Liberty her hair worn in a loose bun with curls falling down her side and neck. The beautiful design of the coin, created by Christian Gobrecht, was so admired that it would later be used on the $2.50 and the $5 Liberty gold coins. The $10 Liberty gold coin, also called the Coronet, was first minted in 1838, which made it the first $10 gold coin to be minted in over 34 years.
