The Augustus Saint-Gaudens Gold Coin is considered one of the most beautiful coins the U.S. Mint has issued. Drawing inspiration from his previous work — the monument of General William Tecumseh Sherman in New York City — and the classical Greek sculpture Nike of Samothrace, Saint-Gaudens captured the full-length figure of Lady Liberty on the obverse side.
In the image, she strides forward carrying a torch and an olive branch. Behind her is the Capitol building and sunlight rays, which symbolize hope.
The reverse of the coin features a soaring, majestic eagle with the sun behind it, depicting a new dawn. Augustus Saint-Gaudens is reported to have drawn inspiration from the 1857 Flying Eagle cent design.
The St. Gaudens Gold Double Eagle was issued in 1907. The first few coins were struck in ultra-high relief, giving them a sculptural three-dimensional appearance. However, this relief was impractical for mass production, forcing the Mint’s chief engraver to lower it.
In 1933, President Roosevelt discontinued the St. Gaudens Gold Double Eagle. He recalled gold coins from circulation to combat the economic effects of the Great Depression, officially halting the era of gold coinage in the U.S.
Before the 1933 gold recall, the Gold Double Eagle Coin was a common currency used in the U.S. and internationally. Due to overseas holdings and unreturned coins, the St. Gaudens Gold Double Eagle is still available today to investors and collectors.
