$4 Flowing Hair Stella Tribute
$4 Flowing Hair Stella Tribute – ½ AVDP Ounce .999 Fine Copper Round | U.S. Pattern Tribute Series
“Freedom in motion. Beauty unbound.”
The Flowing Hair Stella offers a more dynamic interpretation of Liberty—one that feels alive with motion and expression. Unlike the structured elegance of the Coiled Hair design, this variation presents Liberty with cascading hair, symbolizing freedom, energy, and artistic boldness.
First introduced in 1879, the $4 Stella was part of an ambitious effort to create a U.S. gold coin compatible with international trade standards. While both Coiled Hair and Flowing Hair designs were struck as patterns, neither was ever released into circulation, leaving the Stella as one of the most intriguing “what if” coins in American history.
This ½ AVDP ounce .999 fine copper round brings that vision back to life with exceptional clarity. Every strand of flowing hair and every engraved detail is struck with precision, creating a piece that feels both historic and vividly alive.
The reverse features the classic Stella star, faithfully rendered with Intaglio Mint hallmarks and sharp, clean lettering.
As part of the U.S. Pattern Tribute Series, this release honors the creativity and experimentation that defined early American coin design.
