Robert Scot, Christian Gobrecht, James B. Longacre, Bela Lyon Pratt, and Augustus Saint-Gaudens all designed images for the various denominations of the Gold Eagle circulation coins. However, only the 1907-1933 Liberty design from the Gold Double Eagle was so beloved that it went down in history with the name of its design forever attached to the series. The Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle is one of Americas greatest coin designs ever.

Obverse

On this side of the Pre-33 $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle Coins is the design of Lady Liberty.

Her figure was originally surrounded by 46 stars and from 1912 onward it was surrounded by 48 stars.

In 1908, Arabic numerals were introduced but without the national motto for most of the year.
