$20 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin - 1 oz

The 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle 1 oz gold coin was produced by the United States Mint at the West Point Mint in New York. Each coin contains 1 troy ounce of 999.9 fine gold and is struck in 24-karat gold. The coin has a gross weight of approximately 31.10 grams, a diameter of 27 mm and a legal tender face value of US$20.

The 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle was introduced by the United States Mint on January 22, 2009, as a modern recreation of Augustus Saint-Gaudens' celebrated 1907 $20 Double Eagle gold coin. The original design was commissioned during President Theodore Roosevelt's efforts to redesign American coinage. Although Saint-Gaudens envisioned a coin featuring exceptionally high relief and intricate sculptural details, the minting technology available in 1907 made large-scale production of the original ultra high relief design impractical.

More than a century later, advancements in digital design and minting technology enabled the United States Mint to recreate Saint-Gaudens' original artistic vision. The Mint digitally mapped the sculptor's original coin plasters and adapted the designs for modern coin production. Struck in 24-karat gold, the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle features an unusually thick planchet and a smaller diameter than conventional 1 oz American gold coins, allowing the sculptural details to be reproduced with exceptional depth and definition.

The obverse of the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle features Augustus Saint-Gaudens' full-length figure of Lady Liberty striding forward with flowing hair, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, with the U.S. Capitol visible in the background. The design incorporates 50 stars representing the states of the United States, while the year 2009 is inscribed in Roman numerals as MMIX.

The reverse features Saint-Gaudens' iconic flying eagle design, depicting a young American eagle soaring above the rising sun, with rays of sunlight extending across the background. The inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, TWENTY DOLLARS and IN GOD WE TRUST surround the eagle, while the edge of the coin features the raised inscription E PLURIBUS UNUM, with stars separating the individual letters.

The 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle was issued exclusively with a 2009 date. Originally presented in a protective capsule mounted within a wooden platform and housed in a highly lacquered mahogany presentation box, the coin was also accompanied by an official United States Mint companion book documenting its history and development. With its one-year production, 999.9 fine gold content and modern recreation of Saint-Gaudens' historic design, the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle offers investors and collectors in Singapore an opportunity to own a distinctive piece of American numismatic history.
