This specimen was lot 2185 in Jean Elsen sale 160 (Brussels, November 2024), where it sold for €500 (about US$633 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''ETATS-UNIS, AV 5 dollars, 1909 D. Très Beau.'' (United States, gold five dollars of 1909, very fine.)"</blockquote> This type was issued from Philadelphia, Denver (shown here), New Orleans and San Francisco 1908-16 and 1929. Its depiction of an Indian chief, along with the matching 2½ dollars, has long made it popular with collectors. There is, however, little evidence that it circulated much at the time, currency already being preferred. The United States exited the gold standard in 1933, the last major nation to do so, and the coin has not circulated since. This date is common.

''Specification:'' 8.36 g, 0.900 fine gold, .241 troy oz AGW, 21.6 mm diameter, reeded edge.

''Recorded mintage:'' 3,423,560, a common date.

''Catalog reference:'' Fr-151, KM 129.
