Obverse
The obverse of the 1873 Pre-33 Liberty Gold Double Eagles showcases a bust of Lady Liberty. Designed by Longacre, this image was inspired by Christian Gobrechts portrait of Liberty, showing her in left-profile with a coronet crown.
Reverse
The reverse of the 1873 $20 Liberty Double Eagle Coins features the Great Seal of the United States. This design depicts a front-facing bald eagle with the US national shield, clutching the olive branch of peace and arrows of war.
History
The US Eagle coin series was one of the earliest programs introduced by the United States Mint after its establishment in 1792. It included a $10 Eagle, $5 Half Eagle, and $2.50 Quarter Eagle. The California Gold Rush brought a surge of gold to the Treasury, prompting the US Mint to introduce the $20 Double Eagle. From its debut in 1850 until 1907, the $20 Double Eagle featured designs by James B. Longacre, the Chief Engraver of the US Mint.
