Prior to 1849, the largest gold piece issued by the U.S. Government had been the $10 gold coin, known as the “Eagle,” first struck in 1795. The new $20 Liberty gold pieces quickly were dubbed “Double Eagles” because they were twice the size of the established and popular $10 “Eagles.” During the course of their mintage, $20 Liberty Double Eagle gold coins were produced in three varieties, Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3.

The United States $20 gold coin was released in the 1840s in response to the California Gold Rush. It initially featured the bust of Liberty wearing an elaborate coronet with a heraldic eagle and a circle of stars above the eagle, and two motto ribbons on either side on the reverse. The motto was moved above the eagle in 1866. As with the $10 eagle coin, "In God We Trust" was originally omitted from double eagles, but Congress quickly enacted a law to require that it be included.
