Its history
The gold US 20 $ coin, nicknamed the “Double Eagle”, is one of the most iconic in American history. Two main types exist: the “Liberty Head” or “Longacre Liberty”, struck between 1850 and 1907, and the “Saint-Gaudens”, struck between 1907 and 1933. These gold US 20 dollar coins embody American wealth and prosperity, making them an ideal choice for collectors and investors.
The “Longacre Liberty” coin features on the obverse a female bust, similar to the 5 and 10 dollar gold coins, engraved by James Barton Longacre. His initials “J.B.L.” appear discreetly at the base of Liberty’s neck. The reverse features a bald eagle, wings spread, holding an olive branch and arrows. Above it float the 13 stars of the original colonies, symbolising union. This powerful design makes the gold US 20 dollar coin particularly sought after.
At the special request of President Roosevelt, Augustus Saint-Gaudens designed this 20 dollar gold coin, often regarded as the most beautiful of American coins. The obverse features a “striding” Liberty, holding an olive branch and a torch, symbols of peace and progress. The reverse shows a bald eagle in full flight, soaring above a radiant sun. This powerful design symbolises the rise of America. The US 20 dollar Saint-Gaudens coin is an essential reference for any gold investor.
