2009 Ultra High Relief Gold Double Eagle | 1 oz (Box + CoA)

The 2009 Ultra High Relief Gold Double Eagle is one of the most celebrated modern U. S. Mint issues ever produced, directly inspired by Augustus Saint-Gaudens' breathtaking 1907 design — widely regarded as the most beautiful American coin ever created. Struck in 0. 9999 fine gold at 1 troy oz, this coin was produced using a specially developed ultra high relief process that required multiple strikes to achieve the dramatic sculptural depth visible across every detail. The obverse presents Lady Liberty striding boldly forward, torch raised in one hand and an olive branch in the other, against radiating sunbeams and a ring of fifty stars — the year inscribed in Roman numerals as MMIX. The reverse showcases a powerful bald eagle in full flight, wings spread wide over a rising sun, framed by the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, TWENTY DOLLARS, and IN GOD WE TRUST. This example is presented in the original U. S.
