The American Gold Eagle has been in high demand since its initial introduction in 1986. As the official gold bullion coin of the United States, this coin’s stunning designs honour the legacy of America’s rich history, yet it is a popular seller worldwide.
The obverse of the coin features a renowned design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. This image originally appeared on the Double Eagle, which ceased production in 1933. Here, Lady Liberty walks forward, proudly bearing a flaming torch and holding an olive branch to symbolise peace. The Gold Eagle’s obverse also displays a gorgeous background with shining rays of sunlight radiating from the US Capitol.
The reverse of the Eagle coin showcases the magnificent American Bald Eagle, swooping down toward his nest where a female and baby eagle await his arrival. The male eagle carries an olive branch in his talons.
