1999-W Gold $5 Commem George Washington MS-69 NGC
Struck in 1999, this five-dollar gold piece was created to mark the 200th anniversary of the passing of George Washington. Minted from 0.900 fine gold, the coin contains 0.2419 troy ounces of precious metal. This sovereign issue is fully backed by the United States government, representing both a historical tribute and a work of precise numismatic art. The obverse of the coin presents a profile of George Washington. This portrait draws inspiration from a famous bust sculpted by Jean Antoine Houdon in 1785. Surrounding the first president's image are the inscriptions "Liberty" and "In God We Trust," along with the dual-dated significance represented by the year 1999 and the "W" mint mark. On the reverse, a detailed eagle is shown perched beneath a canopy of thirteen stars, symbolizing the original American colonies. The reverse inscriptions clearly display the issuing nation, "United States of America," the traditional motto "E Pluribus Unum," and the face value of "Five Dollars."
