The Saint Gaudens Double Eagle, a $20 gold coin, was designed by acclaimed sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens and was minted from 1907 to 1933. The 1933 issue is particularly famous due to its controversial history; most were melted down following the U.S. government's abandonment of the gold standard. Only a few examples are known to have survived, making the 1933 Double Eagle one of the most sought-after and valuable coins in numismatic history. The coin features a majestic depiction of Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle in flight on the reverse, embodying the ideals of freedom and American spirit.
