Obverse

On the obverse of the 1911-S Pre-33 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle Coin is the classic Liberty figure created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Liberty is shown moving forward with a torch raised in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. The Capitol building appears in the background alongside bright rays from the rising sun, helping create a bold and balanced design. Inscriptions include LIBERTY, 1911, and the S mint mark.

Reverse

The reverse of the 1911-S $20 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle Gold Coin displays an American bald eagle flying above the sun. Long sun rays extend outward behind the eagle while its wings spread across the field. The reverse design remains one of the best-known images in American coin collecting because of its realistic detail and strong visual appeal. Inscriptions read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, TWENTY DOLLARS, and IN GOD WE TRUST.

History

The San Francisco Mint produced 775,750 examples of the 1911-S Double Eagle. This issue is often viewed as one of the more difficult coins from the middle portion of the series to locate in higher grades. Collectors also value this release for the strong strike characteristics commonly associated with San Francisco Mint coins. The 1911 issue was the last in the series to feature 46 stars on the obverse before Arizona and New Mexico joined the Union in 1912, bringing the total to 48 stars.
