Craftsmanship

The Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle was minted from 1907 to 1933 and is widely recognized for its artistic design. Created during President Theodore Roosevelt’s effort to elevate American coinage, the $20 gold piece translated Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ sculptural style into a circulating U.S. coin.

The Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle is celebrated for its iconic design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, which transformed American coinage. The obverse features Lady Liberty striding forward with a torch and olive branch, backed by sun rays and the U.S. Capitol, symbolizing progress and unity, with stars representing the states and the year of issue below.
