History

The Liberty design for the 1907 $20 Double Eagle was created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who received the commission from President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905. Despite his failing health, Saint-Gaudens worked diligently, producing many sketches and clay models to achieve the high-relief style he envisioned. Roosevelt supported his artistic goal to make U.S. coinage as elegant as the finest examples from ancient Greece.
