Product Description
1 oz American Gold Eagle Coin
The 1 oz American Gold Eagle Coin, first minted in 1986, is the official gold bullion coin of the United States Mint. It is one of the most sought-after gold coins globally, prized by both investors and collectors. Its stunning design and exceptional craftsmanship have made it a favorite among gold bullion investors around the world.
Historical Significance and Durability:
Unlike earlier U.S. gold coins, which had a lower gold content, the modern American Gold Eagle is alloyed with copper and silver, giving it enhanced strength and durability. This makes the coin more resistant to wear, allowing it to be carried without losing material—a key benefit compared to softer 24-karat coins.
Obverse Design:
The obverse of the coin is inspired by the classic $20 Saint-Gaudens gold coin, minted between 1907 and 1933. It showcases Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic depiction of Lady Liberty, standing tall with flowing hair, with the U.S. Capitol building in the background. The word “Liberty” arches above, along with the coin’s minting date, capturing a timeless piece of American history.
Reverse Design:
The reverse features sculptor Miley Busiek’s renowned “Family of Eagles” design. This stunning artwork depicts a female eagle guarding her hatchlings in the nest, while the male eagle soars overhead, holding an olive branch in its talons—symbolizing peace and freedom. Above this striking design, the words “United States of America” are engraved, along with the coin’s gold content, face value in USD, and the inscriptions “E Pluribus Unum” and “In God We Trust.”
