Formed in 1842, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is considered by many to be one of the greatest orchestras in the world and this beautiful gold coin honors that legacy.

The perfect blend of beauty and history, the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle is the culmination of Theodore Roosevelt’s desire to transform the nation’s coinage into inspiring works of art. After nearly a century, it’s still 20 dollars legal tender in the U.S.

These highly acclaimed and sought-after coins  are historically significant with a timeless design featuring a bald eagle soaring through a burst of rays, ever the symbol of the freedoms we hold dear. On the obverse side, Lady Liberty stands proudly in flowing robe, torch in her right hand and olive branch in her left hand; wreathed in the sun’s rays and accompanied by the U.S. Capitol Building to her left.

This is one of the most magnificent gold coins ever minted. The coin has a heft that many collectors appreciate, and the St. Gauden’s Double Eagle’s details can be admired without a lens. This coin is the embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the United States and was created by famed sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens at the behest of President Teddy Roosevelt after he saw a display of ancient coins at the Smithsonian. Roosevelt believed that America needed a new line of coins befitting the nation’s grandeur and greatness. Saint-Gaudens created a design for the ages and deserves a prominent place in your collection.
