Striking Eagle Design by Jennie Norris
Obverse: The obverse features the iconic Saint-Gaudens design, which is named for its creator, Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Liberty stands at the center facing the holder with her torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other as the rays of the sun spread out behind her. Obverse inscriptions include her name, “LIBERTY,” and the date, “2022.” Augustus Saint-Gaudens was an Irish immigrant to the United States. Besides being associated with his Double Eagle, he also founded the Cornish colony, a haven for artists of all kinds.
Reverse: Designed by Jennie Norris and sculpted by Renata Gordon, the reverse design is a closeup look at an eagle. The two statutory mottoes, “E PLURIBUS UNUM” and “IN GOD WE TRUST,” are inscribed above the bird’s head. Rim inscriptions provide the name of the issuing country, “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” the coin’s face value, “10 DOLLARS,” and its metal content, “1/4 OZ. FINE GOLD.” Jennie Norris is an award winning fine artist, as well as an illustrator and graphic designer. This is her first US coin design.
