Description
The 1 oz Gold Round 1849 Smithsonian Pattern Double Eagle Proof holds one troy ounce of gold and has been graded and sealed by NGC as Gem Proof. It reproduces the 1849 pattern double eagle by Chief Engraver James B. Longacre, held in the Smithsonian's National Numismatic Collection. The obverse shows Liberty facing left in a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, ringed by thirteen stars, and the reverse carries a heraldic eagle and shield beneath an E PLURIBUS UNUM scroll. The pattern dates from 1849, when Congress created the $20 gold piece in response to the flood of California Gold Rush bullion arriving at the Philadelphia Mint. It is a handsome modern tribute to that Gold Rush design.
