Additional Description: The 1924 Saint-Gaudens $20 “Double Eagle” gold coin reflects a moment when American coinage aspired to be more than currency—it aimed to be art. Designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens at the request of Theodore Roosevelt, the coin features a dynamic image of Liberty and a majestic eagle, struck in nearly an ounce of gold. Though widely minted in Philadelphia and later saved in quantity, often from European vaults, it retains prestige as a product of the nation’s golden age of coin design.
