Widely regarded as the most beautiful coin ever produced by the United States Mint, the $20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle embodies America’s Golden Age of coinage and national ambition.
Designed by renowned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the series was commissioned by President Theodore Roosevelt as part of his mission to elevate U.S. coinage to classical artistry worthy of a world power.
The obverse depicts Lady Liberty striding forward with a torch and an olive branch, symbolizing enlightenment and peace, while the reverse features a soaring eagle above a rising sun — a bold testament to American strength and optimism entering the 20th century.
Minted from 1907 through 1933, each Double Eagle contains nearly a full troy ounce of gold (.9675 oz) and stands as the pinnacle of pre-1933 U.S. gold.
Key issues include the ultra-rare 1907 High Relief specimens and the legendary 1933 — one of the most storied and valuable rarities in global numismatics.
Most surviving pieces were preserved not through circulation but due to Gold Recall events and international bank storage, creating a unique intersection of historical preservation and financial intrigue.
Collectors and investors prize the Saint-Gaudens series for its artistry, rarity in high-grade examples, and enduring store-of-wealth qualities.
