The $10 Indian Head Gold Coin was only minted from the years 1907-1933. President Roosevelt had a desire to create a new and unique US coin. The famous sculptor, Augustus Saint-Gaudens was chosen for the job. The sculptor originated a design and passed the image to Adolph Weinman (also well known for the Mercury Dime and Walking Liberty Half Dollar). One side features an American 'Miss Liberty' profile wearing a headdress along with stars to represent US states, while the other side of the $10 Indian Head Gold Coin features a perched eagle.

In 1908, Roosevelt asked for a new, five-dollar Indian Head Gold Coin. The designer, Bela Pratt used a very unique design for this version. The brandished head on the top of the coin was not raised above the coin but sculpted in an incuse fashion as to rest sunken within the coin.
