Coin Details

Description

The 2026 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle Silver Medal is the one-ounce companion piece to the Best of the Mint MCMVII Saint-Gaudens High Relief Gold Coin. This silver medal presents a modern reimagining of Augustus Saint-Gaudens' celebrated Double Eagle design, widely regarded as the pinnacle of American coin artistry. The obverse offers a new perspective on Liberty carrying a torch and olive branch, surrounded by thirteen stars representing the original colonies. The reverse transforms the classic flying eagle into a bold new composition, with the eagle's wings depicted as an American flag soaring above the Sun. Struck in one ounce of 99.9% pure silver as part of the Semiquincentennial celebration, this medal captures the spirit of Saint-Gaudens' 1907 masterpiece while bringing it into the context of America's 250th anniversary, completing the five-set Best of the Mint program.
