| Additional information |
This coin doesn't exist. The United States Mint struck no gold dollar dated 1903 — production of the gold dollar (Type 3, Indian Princess) ceased after 1889, and the denomination was never revived. KM#119 corresponds to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition commemorative gold dollar of 1903, which was issued in two varieties: one honoring Jefferson and one honoring McKinley. The Jefferson obverse commemorated the centennial of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase, the land deal that effectively doubled the geographic size of the United States for roughly $15 million.
These were sold at the St. Louis exposition at $3 apiece — a meaningful premium over face value — which kept most examples out of circulation entirely.
