The $20 Saint Gaudens Gold coin, minted from 1907 to 1933, is one of the most celebrated coins in American numismatics. Designed by artist Augustus Saint-Gaudens, it features a depiction of Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle in flight on the reverse. The 1908 coin is particularly significant as it marks a year in which the design was slightly modified to include the motto "In God We Trust," which was added at the request of President Theodore Roosevelt. This coin contains 0.9675 troy ounces of pure gold and is highly sought after by collectors due to its artistry and historical importance.
