The Liberty Head was the first gold double eagle minted in the United States. It was authorized by the Act of March 3, 1849, which provided a means of converting raw gold from the California Gold Rush that began in 1848 into legal tender. The Liberty Head was replaced by the Saint-Gaudens $20 gold piece in 1907.
