History & Significance

The $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle was born out of the California Gold Rush, when the U.S. Mint needed a larger denomination gold coin to handle booming bullion supplies. These coins circulated widely and were also used in international trade.

The series includes three subtypes (Type I, II, III), reflecting minor design changes, most notably the addition of the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" in 1866 and a refined denomination layout in 1877.

Note: This product is for a random date coin from the Liberty Head series. Dates, mint marks, and subtype (I, II, or III) will vary and are determined at time of order fulfillment. All coins are guaranteed to meet our advertised gold content and condition standards.
