The Double Eagle Gold Coin was the last one added to the US Eagle denominations in the 19^th century. Debuting in 1849 at the height of the California Gold Rush, the Double Eagle went through just two design features over the next 80-plus years of availability. Most of that timeframe saw the Liberty Double Eagle produced for circulation.
