The '''[[Indian Head eagle]]''' was a ten-dollar gold piece, or [[eagle (United States coin)|eagle]], struck by the [[United States Mint]] from 1907 until 1933. The [[obverse and reverse|obverse and the reverse]], designed by the sculptor [[Augustus Saint-Gaudens]], were originally commissioned for use on other denominations. As sculpted by Saint-Gaudens, it was in too high [[relief]] for the Mint to strike readily, and the necessary modifications took months. The omission of the motto "[[In God We Trust]]" on the new coins caused public outrage, and prompted [[United States Congress|Congress]] to pass a bill mandating the motto's inclusion. Later editions of the coin included the motto.
Shown here is a coin struck in 1908, including the motto. See the [[Template:POTD/2018-07-19/1|version omitting the motto]].
