Struck in 1860 at the San Francisco Mint, this twenty-dollar gold piece represents a fascinating moment in American history just before the outbreak of the Civil War.

This specific piece features the 'S' mint mark, indicating its origin from the Western minting facility. Crafted from 90% pure gold, this substantial coin contains 0.9675 troy ounces of precious metal. Out of an original mintage of 544,950 pieces, this specimen has survived in remarkable condition, receiving a certified grade of About Uncirculated 53 (AU-53). The obverse displays the classic portrait of Liberty, with the year 1860 clearly visible at the base of the design.
