$4 Coiled Hair Stella Tribute – 24K Gold Plated
$4 Coiled Hair Stella Tribute – ½ AVDP Ounce 24K Gold Plated Copper Round | U.S. Pattern Tribute Series
“A pattern reimagined in gold—just as it was always meant to be.”
The $4 Stella was conceived as a coin of international prestige—an American answer to global gold coinage. Introduced in 1879, it was designed to facilitate overseas trade by matching widely accepted European denominations. Though never officially circulated, the Stella quickly became one of the most famous—and enigmatic—pattern coins in U.S. history.
Featuring Liberty’s composed and elegant coiled hairstyle, this design embodies classical restraint and refined beauty. Every detail—from the delicate hair strands to the surrounding stars—is enhanced by a rich, radiant gold finish that highlights the depth of the strike.
The reverse displays the iconic Stella star, with crisp inscriptions and a mirrored gold sheen that elevates the entire composition.
Struck in .999 fine copper and finished with a brilliant 24K gold plating, this piece is part of the U.S. Pattern Tribute Series, celebrating the artistry and ambition of America’s most iconic experimental coinage.
