20 Dollars "Saint-Gaudens;" · “Saint-Gaudens;”

In 1905 a U.S. president called his own country's coinage "atrociously hideous" and hired the most famous sculptor in America to fix it. The result, a $20 gold piece with Liberty striding out of the sunrise, is still the coin people name when they're asked which is the most beautiful ever struck.
