In celebration of the opening of the Panamá Canal, the City of San Francisco hosted the Panamá-Pacific Exposition. In commemoration of the event, the United States Mint struck a variety of both Silver and Gold coins which included a $50 round and $50 octagonal.

Apart from patterns and semi-official territorial Gold coins, the United States had never issued a $50 Gold piece.
