Owner Comments:

The first commemorative $5 gold coin released in 2016 was issued to honor the famous American author Mark Twain, a.k.a. Samuel Clemens. The coin's obverse features a 3/4 profile view of the bushy mustachioed Twain. The reverse of the coin features a paddle-wheeled steamboat. I believe this is the first U.S. coin to honor a novelist.

There was a small mintage of 5,693 uncirculated and 13,266 proof coins produced by the West Point Mint.
