Moffat & Company’s coins were intended to mimic the design of U.S. gold coins, with the word “LIBERTY” replaced by “MOFFAT & Co.” on Liberty’s diadem, and the legend “S.M.V CALIFORNIA GOLD.” on the reverse. There are several minor positional varieties of the reverse die known, and examples can be found from heavily circulated grades on up to gem uncirculated.
