Classic U.S. Gold Jewelry Collection
$20 Saint-Gaudens double eagle
A stunning statement in gold coin jewelry!
Considered by many collectors to be the most beautiful gold coin ever made, and certainly the most popular of all U.S. coin designs, $20 Saint-Gaudens double-eagles make a big, bold, and awe-inspiring statement as gold coin jewelry.
Teddy Roosevelt himself commissioned this magnificent design from Augustus Saint-Gaudens, one of the leading sculptors in America. The obverse features the image of Miss Liberty striding gloriously into the future. The reverse features the majestic Flying Eagle above the rising sun.
As the last gold piece struck by the U.S. government for regular issue, the $20 Saint-Gaudens will forever remain a symbol of the emerging greatness of America in the 20th Century.
