Historical Background of the Saint-Gaudens Ultra High Relief Design

The genesis of this magnificent coin dates back to 1907, when President Theodore Roosevelt commissioned famed sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens to redesign America's coinage. Saint-Gaudens' original vision for the $20 Gold Double Eagle called for an unprecedented ultra high relief, a design so intricate and deep it proved impractical for the minting technology of the era. As a result, only a limited number of original 1907 Ultra High Relief coins were produced before the design was modified for mass production.

In 2009, the U.S. Mint revisited Saint-Gaudens' initial artistic intent, employing modern minting techniques to faithfully reproduce the ultra high relief design in its full glory. This 2009 Gold Ultra High Relief Coin stands as a direct tribute to that original artistic ambition, offering collectors a unique opportunity to own a piece that truly embodies Saint-Gaudens' uncompromised artistic ideal for American coinage.
