A Double Eagle
What a beautiful coin that is something to behold!
Its contents are nearly one troy ounce of gold.
Today, these coins are expensive and hard to find.
Artist Augustus St.Gaudens fashioned the design.
On the front, Liberty holds a torch before a rising sun.
On the back, an eagle flies above another one.
It has a face value of twenty dollars; the most back then.
The mint will never make anymore of these pieces again.
