1907 $20 gold piece was the master template for the digitally reproduced and minted 2009 Double Eagle coin. Augustus Saint-Gaudens designed 1907 $20 Double Eagle has often been described as "the most beautiful coin ever minted."
Through 21st century technology and the vision of Director Ed Moy, original Saint-Gaudens coin plasters were digitally mapped by the United States Mint. Using the digital design and die-making process, the Saint-Gaudens sculpture—in ultra high relief—has been updated to reflect the year 2009, an additional four stars to represent the current 50 states, and the inscription "In God We Trust," which was not on the 1907 version.
Additionally, a small border was added for a more consistent edge. The 2009 coin is made of 24-karat gold. Pure 24-karat gold is much more malleable than 22-karat or 90% gold coins, making it better material for striking the ultra high relief.
The 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin closes one chapter of American coin design and begins a new one. The coin is a uniquely American artistic expression—created by an American sculptor and crafted by an iconic American institution.
