Saint-Gaudens 1924 Double Eagle Coin and Diamond Pendant in 14K and 20K
For the canny collector, this rare Saint-Gaudens 1924 Double Eagle coin has been framed inside a modernist border of textured yellow gold with four small, stylized triangles of pave set diamonds. Commissioned by President Theodore Roosevelt in the early years of the 20th Century to beautify American coinage, renowned sculptor Auguste Saint-Gaudens set about creating the now famed Double Eagle series. The face of the coin features a beautifully crafted Lady Liberty stepping out of the sun and bearing a staff and olive branch. The word "Liberty" stretches above her head framed by 48 stars which represent the states in the union. The reverse is inscribed the words "United States of America" and "Twenty Dollars" which arch over the finely detailed figure of a bald eagle in flight. Radiating lines, representing the sun, seem to emanate from the words "In God We Trust" inscribed at the bottom of the coin. This exceptional vintage estate coin pendant measures 2 1/2 inches by 2 inches and is a fabulous find for the vintage jewelry lover, American History enthusiast or the numismatist.
