About US Double Eagle Gold Coins

The US double eagle gold coin ($20) was released in the 1840s in response to the California Gold Rush. It initially featured the bust of Liberty wearing an elaborate coronet with a heraldic eagle and a circle of stars above the eagle, and two motto ribbons on either side on the reverse. The motto was moved above the eagle in 1866. As with the $10 eagle coin, "In God We Trust" was originally omitted from double eagles, but Congress quickly enacted a law to require that it be included.

In 1908, Augustus St. Gaudens created a new design for the double eagle gold. Liberty’s full body is shown, and she's holding a torch and an olive branch. The reverse features a flying eagle with sun rays in the background.
