His name was Augustus Saint-Gaudens and he was commissioned by the prestigious president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, to come up with a new design for American coins.

On the reverse, the design which is featured is the heraldic image of a family of American bald eagles created by Miley Busiek specifically for the American Gold Eagle series.
