The $20 Gold Double Eagles were introduced by the United States Mint in 1848, but in 1907 the series gained what is considered to be its most beautiful design. Augustus Saint-Gaudens was commissioned by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905 to create a new design of Liberty for the United States Mint. Saint-Gaudens originally intended to be presented in high relief, the US Mint could not achieve that with regularity in 1907. The 2009 reissue of a commemorative version of the coin brought the design to life as Saint-Gaudens intended a century earlier.

Lady Liberty is depicted on the obverse of the 2009 1 oz Ultra High Relief Gold Double Eagle. This depiction shows Liberty striding forward away from Washington D.C. with the US Capitol Building at her feet, rays of sunshine behind her, and a ring of 50 stars around the design field. Liberty walks along with a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left.
An American bald eagle is found in the reverse design of the 2009 Ultra High Relief Gold Double Eagles. As the eagle glides through the air, its wings are stretched behind its figure and its head is held up high. The sun rises at the bottom edge of the field and extends its rays to the edges of the design element.
