Gold Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle Coin Pendant and Rope Chain

This jewelry piece consists of a yellow gold pendant featuring a reproduction or original Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle coin design, suspended from a thick yellow gold rope chain. The central coin showcases the iconic image of Lady Liberty holding a torch and olive branch with the sun rising in the background. The coin is encased in a decorative, high-polish yellow gold bezel characterized by a distinctive 'nugget-style' or faceted border that provides significant texture and light reflection. The pendant is attached via a tapered, grooved bail to a substantial, multi-ply rope chain. The chain features a secure lobster-style clasp. Both the coin and the bezel exhibit a warm, rich gold tone, though the coin shows signs of circulation or wear, particularly in the smoothing of the finer relief details on Liberty's gown and the surrounding rays. The bezel and chain show minor surface scratches consistent with use. Based on the style of the mounting and the popularity of coin jewelry, this piece likely dates from the late 20th century, circa 1980-1990. The craftsmanship appears robust, designed for everyday wear while highlighting the numismatic motif.
