Saint-Gaudens $20 Double Eagle 1907-1933 |
|
 The design featured on the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle coin has become the most enduring icon of the age of circulating gold coins. Widely hailed as the most beautiful design to ever grace United States coinage, the coin was the product of president Theodore Roosevelt’s desire to improve and modernize the look of American coinage. Roosevelt worked directly with the famed sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens to produce a new coin that reflected the new global prominence that America had earned. The figure of liberty portrayed on the obverse has been revived on modern issue American Eagle gold coins struck by the U.S. Mint, making it one of the most enduring symbols in American money. First struck in 1907, this design was used until 1933, when the depression prompted the government to recall gold coins, ending the era of circulating gold currency.
