Two great designers, one excellent piece!
Obverse: Artist Augustus Saint-Gaudens originally designed the obverse image for use on the $20 “Double Eagle.” Liberty strides confidently forward in a flowing gown as she holds the Torch of Freedom overhead. Some modifications were made to design elements like the Capitol Building and the sun’s rays as the U.S. Mint returned to its historical assets, resulting in a design that more closely matches Saint-Gaudens’ original vision.
Reverse: The U.S. Mint’s Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) artist Jennie Norris designed a realistic, close cropped Bald Eagle portrait which appears on the reverse of the series for the first time with the T-2 issue.
