The Flowing Hair Dollar designs by Robert Scot were groundbreaking for their time. They introduced the first representations of Liberty and the bald eagle on US currency. Scot’s creative vision set the standard for American coinage and remains a proud symbol of the nation’s early history.

The obverse side of the 2024 Proof American Gold Flowing Hair Coin showcases Lady Liberty in a left-profile portrait. Scot’s design captures Liberty’s delicate features, with her flowing hair cascading behind her shoulders. Surrounding Liberty’s bust are 13 stars, representing the original colonies, alongside the inscription “LIBERTY.”

On the reverse of the 2024 1 oz Proof Gold 230th Anniversary Flowing Hair Coin is Scot’s heraldic eagle design. This image features the eagle spreading its wings within a wreath, a symbol of peace and strength. While some critics of the time found the design too delicate, it remains a significant part of US coinage history, representing the country’s emergence as a new nation.
