The history of the Ultra-High Relief Double Eagle began over a hundred years ago when President Theodore Roosevelt commissioned sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens to beautify coins to reflect American values. Saint-Gaudens used the now iconic figure of Lady Liberty for the obverse of the coin.
Inspired by designs on ancient Greek coins, Saint-Gaudens wanted Liberty struck in very high relief. However, the capability to produce the quantity and thickness of coins that President Roosevelt and Saint-Gaudens envisioned was not yet available.
As time and improvements in technology allowed, Director Moy decided to fulfill Saint-Gaudensʼ vision. He resurrected the Ultra-High Relief style of the now-iconic Double Eagle coin. The design, with a fully formed Lady Liberty marching, is widely prized in the numismatic community.
