Saint-Gaudens Gold

World renowned sculptor Augustus Saint Gaudens created the most beautiful design ever for a $20 coin, the

Saint Gaudens Gold Coin

. Minted 1907-1933, the Saint Gaudens Coin portrayed Liberty holding an olive branch and lit torch, striding confidently forward, with the U.S. Capitol building and the rays of the sun behind her. On the reverse, the Saint Gaudens Gold Coin features a majestic flying eagle with the sun’s rays beaming up behind it. It is called a double eagle because the gold content was twice that of a $10 "eagle" gold coin.
