LIBERTY HEAD 1849 🆕 NEW RELEASE
Two specimens were struck.
One remains at the Smithsonian.
The other has never been conclusively identified.
The 1849 Liberty Head Double Eagle holds a unique place in American numismatic history as the very first $20 gold coin ever authorized and struck by the United States Mint. 🦅
Created in the aftermath of the California Gold Rush, the new denomination reflected a rapidly changing America — one where the discovery of gold transformed the nation’s economy and created the need for larger-value gold coinage. ✨
Now, this extraordinary piece becomes the fifth coin in the Greatest United States Coins series. 🇺🇸
Struck in 2 oz of .999 silver, featuring a Proof / Gold Plated finish and limited to only 500 pieces worldwide, this release reimagines one of the defining moments in American coinage.
Experience the evolution of coinage.
