Following the United States Coinage Act of 1849, famed sculptor James B. Longacre was tasked with designing the $20 Liberty Head, a gold coin with a $20 denomination highest at the time- to facilitate the nation's growing economic expansion. This coin was pivotal to the United States' economic success from 1840 until it was replaced by the Saint Gaudens double eagle in 1907.

The Saint-Gaudens double eagle is a twenty-dollar gold coin produced by the United States Mint from 1907 to 1933. It is named after its designer, the sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and is widely considered to feature one of the most beautiful designs in the history of United States coinage. The series' design resulted from a historic collaboration between President Theodore Roosevelt and sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The president had expressed disapproval of the current circulating coin designs, which had been in use for over half a century. He wanted America's coins to be objects of beauty and expressions of national identity.
