Historic Saint-Gaudens Design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens
Liberty stands confidently facing the holder on the obverse in a design that Augustus Saint-Gaudens originally designed for the double eagle. She has one foot elevated upon a rock as her long hair blows freely in the wind. She holds two powerful symbols, her torch, which represents freedom, and an olive branch, which represents peace. The Capitol Dome is to the left, and the rays of the morning sun spread outward and upward behind her. Along the rim are fifty stars, four more than appeared on the original design.
A family of eagles features on Miley Busiek's reverse. A male eagle returns to his nest carrying an olive branch. His mate watches his return as she tends to their nestlings. Several inscriptions spread throughout the remaining space on this face, including the coin's weight, "1 OZ. FINE GOLD" and face value, "50 DOLLARS."
