The Liberty Head Double Eagle was designed by James B. Longacre, the U.S. Mint’s Chief Engraver, and was first issued in 1850 following the California Gold Rush — a period that reshaped America’s economy and fueled demand for large-denomination gold coins.
Each coin was struck from 0.9675 troy ounces of gold, with a nominal face value of $20. However, the Liberty Head Double Eagle represented far more than its denomination — it was a symbol of America’s westward expansion, prosperity, and industrial might.
