The Design
The American Eagle Program rescued Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ 1907 20-dollar Double Eagle Coin design to the obverse of Gold Eagles.
In the image, Lady Liberty marches forward, carrying a torch and an olive branch, symbolizing the nation's evolution toward progress, peace, and enlightenment.
It also features the word “LIBERTY” on top, the Capitol Building on the lower left, and the coin’s mintage year on the right.
The reverse is Miley Busiek's creation. In the image, a female eagle cherishes its hatchling under her wing while the male one perches their nest.
The image also displays the coin’s description of weight, metal content, and face value, which reads “1/2 OZ. FINE GOLD—25 DOLLARS,” the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” the mottos “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “IN GOD WE TRUST.”
