Description

The Gold American Eagle 1 oz is the United States Mint's premier gold bullion coin and one of the most recognized gold coins in the world. Struck in 22-karat (0.9167 fine) gold with a full troy ounce of gold content, this coin carries a $50 legal tender face value backed by the U.S. government. The obverse showcases Augustus Saint-Gaudens' celebrated Walking Liberty design — Lady Liberty striding forward carrying a torch and olive branch, framed by thirteen stars and radiant sunbursts with the U.S. Capitol visible in the background. The Roman numeral date MCMLXXXVI on the inaugural design reflects the series' 1986 origin. The reverse, designed by sculptor Miley Busiek, presents a male eagle in flight carrying an olive branch toward a nesting female and eaglets, accompanied by the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and IN GOD WE TRUST. The reeded edge and bold high-relief strike deliver the tactile and visual depth that collectors and stackers prize in this enduring series.
