A Historical View of the High Relief Gold Coin
President Roosevelt himself invited Saint-Gaudens to redesign all of our American coins, specifically the United States gold coins, in 1905. What came from this redesign is the most beautiful gold coin ever created in the United States, and maybe even in the world, the 1907 $20 gold coin - colloquially known as the Double Eagle.
On the obverse side, Saint-Gaudens illustrated a beautiful and statuesque personification of Liberty walking forward with a powerful stride. Lady Liberty's robes reflect our government's roots in the idyllic beliefs of Rome and Greece's republican ideals. Liberty has a torch in her forward hand and in her back hand, an olive branch. She leads the way to freedom. This wonderful design really highlights the freedom that forms the basis of the American spirit. Wherever the beautiful Liberty goes, people are inspired by her and peace comes in her wake. Read more
