The Liberty Head Double Eagle is a gold coin issued by the United States Mint from 1849 to 1904 and again from 1920 to 1933. The coin features a portrait of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle with a shield on the reverse. The 1861 date, struck in New Orleans, is particularly significant due to the historical context of the Civil War, which affected mint operations. The 20 Dollar denomination makes it a key piece for collectors, often sought after for its gold content and historical relevance.
