The Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle is one of the most celebrated gold coins in American history. Minted from 1907 to 1933, it was designed by renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens at the request of President Theodore Roosevelt, who wanted U.S. coinage to reflect the grandeur of ancient Greek and Roman designs. The obverse features a striking image of Lady Liberty striding forward with a torch and olive branch, symbolizing enlightenment and peace, while the reverse showcases a majestic soaring eagle above the sun’s rays.
