This redesign, combined with the PCGS certification, offers both historical significance and collectible value, bridging the past with the present.

 

The obverse side of the coin is adapted from Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ famed Gold Double Eagle design. It features a majestic Lady Liberty, her hair flowing gracefully, holding a torch in her right hand symbolizing enlightenment, and an olive branch in her left, representing peace. The Type 2 design incorporates added details from the original bronze cast, enhancing the beauty and intricacy of this beloved design.

 

On the reverse, one can admire a bold close-up portrait of an eagle, a masterpiece by Jennie Norris. This design is particularly special as it’s the first new design introduced since the series began in 1986. The eagle, a symbol of strength and freedom, adds depth and meaning to the coin, making it a cherished piece for any collection.
