Beloved Liberty Design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens

Liberty stands at the center of Augustus Saint-Gaudens's obverse design. The design debuted on the double eagle in 1907 and remained there until 1933. Liberty faces the holder with her torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other as the wind blows her long hair and garment. The morning sun emerges in the background with its rays spreading out behind the figure, making her appear larger than life. Fifty stars represent the states along the rim, encircling the design, which also includes a small rendering of the Capitol Dome. "LIBERTY" is inscribed at the top, and "2020" is included on the right.

A male eagle returns to his nest where his mate tends to their young in Miley Busiek's reverse design. Both statutory phrases, "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and "IN GOD WE TRUST," appear on this face. Rim inscriptions offer the coin's country, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," weight, "1/10 OZ. FINE GOLD," and face value, "5 DOLLARS."
