Negotiated by General Anthony Wayne and Miami Chief Little Turtle, it established a boundary between Native lands and American settlements, expanding U.S. territory. That same year, the 1795 $5 Small Eagle coin was minted, featuring the detailed Draped Bust of Lady Liberty on the obverse. The intricate curls of Liberty's hair and drapery of her gown showcase the craftsmanship of the time. Surrounding Liberty are 15 stars and the word "LIBERTY", with the date 1795 below. The reverse displays a small eagle with outstretched wings, encircled by a wreath, making it a prized piece of early American coinage.
The reverse displays a small eagle holding a wreath in its beak, with an olive branch in its talons. The eagle is surrounded by the inscription "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”. The majority of the BD-3 survivorship is in circulated condition, with only limited numbers of Mint State coins, most of which grade no finer than MS62. In MS63, NGC and PCGS combined report only 19 examples of the Small Eagle five, regardless of die variety, and only a few handfuls of finer coins are known.
An elite early American gold rarity, this 1795 Small Eagle $5 Half Eagle (BD-3, High R.3) graded NGC MS63+★ and CAC-approved is a stunning representative of the first U.S. gold coinage. The lustrous surfaces glow with natural brilliance, and the strike is exceptionally sharp for the type, particularly on Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s wings. The coveted star designation highlights its superior eye appeal, placing it at the pinnacle of early federal numismatics.
