• Obverse: Features a bald eagle depicted in mid-flight, as the sun rises below in the coin’s field
• Reverse: Features Lady Liberty, the American rendition of the Roman Goddess

The reverse side displays Lady Liberty, the American rendition of the Roman Goddess, Libertas the human embodiment of Liberty. Lady Liberty bears a torch symbolic of enlightenment in her right hand, and an olive branch, symbolic of peace in her left. “Liberty” is displayed above, as the legend, while expert engraving enhances the patriotism by etching the white house, as lines indicative of the sun feature in the background. Lady Liberty is encircled by 47 stars, indicative of the states that populated the nation at the time.

On the obverse, the quintessential symbol of America, the bald eagle is depicted in mid-flight, as the sun rises below in the coin’s field. Although 1908 is the year that the coin incorporated the National motto “In God we Trust,” on the obverse side, the decision was initiated after a portion of coins were already minted, meaning that some 1908 Double Eagles did not include the motto. The coin that you will receive does not include the motto hence the designation NM.
