Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle Tribute – 1 AVDP Oz .999 Fine Copper Round | Modern U.S. Coin Tributes
Description:
Widely regarded as the most beautiful coin ever produced by the United States, the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle represents the pinnacle of American numismatic art. First issued in the early 20th century, its bold, sculptural design redefined what U.S. coinage could be—dynamic, symbolic, and unmistakably powerful. This stunning modern tribute honors that legacy with extraordinary fidelity and craftsmanship.
The obverse showcases Liberty in full stride, advancing forward with confidence and purpose. Torch held high and olive branch extended, she emerges from a radiant sunburst, her flowing gown and windswept hair rendered in breathtaking detail. The depth of the intaglio engraving brings remarkable motion to the scene, giving the figure a sculptural presence that feels alive in the hand.
On the reverse, a majestic eagle soars in flight above the rising sun, wings fully extended in a display of strength and freedom. The sweeping lines of the rays and the finely detailed plumage create a sense of lift and momentum, perfectly balancing the bold obverse. Smooth fields and crisp relief enhance every contour, resulting in a composition that is both powerful and refined.
Struck in one avoirdupois ounce of .999 fine copper, this tribute elevates an already legendary design into a modern masterpiece. The warm copper surface accentuates every sculpted element, producing rich contrast and a glowing finish that highlights the artistry from every angle.
A cornerstone release within the Modern U.S. Coin Tributes collection, the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle Tribute is a celebration of American ambition, artistic excellence, and timeless beauty—crafted for collectors who appreciate coins not only as history, but as true works of art.
