20 Dollars US | Gold

The 20 Dollars US gold coin, known as the Double Eagle, was struck from 1850 to 1933. It exists in two types according to the effigy: the Liberty head, 1850 to 1907, and the Saint-Gaudens type, 1907 to 1933. It is 900 thousandths fine, weighs 33.43 grams and measures 34 mm across.

The first type carries on the obverse a Liberty head wearing a coronet and, on the reverse, a heraldic eagle. The second, designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, shows on the obverse Liberty walking towards the viewer, a torch and an olive branch in hand, and on the reverse an eagle in flight.
