The American Gold Eagle series was first authorized by Congress for release in 1986 and is among the most popular bullion coins in the world. Backed by the United States government specifically for bullion investment purposes, the 1/2 oz. Gold American Eagle carries a face value of $25 USD. The coin is composed of 91.67% gold, 5.33% copper and 3% silver, and contains 1/10 troy oz of pure gold.
The American Gold Eagle series was developed to appeal to both collectors and investors, and are available in four different sizes, containing 1/10, 1/4, 1/2, or 1 troy oz of gold. All four sizes feature the same iconic obverse and reverse design elements and are guaranteed for their weight and purity by the United States government.
The obverse of the 1/2 oz. Gold American Eagle coin showcases the iconic depiction of Lady Liberty. Created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens at the request of President Roosevelt, this design is celebrated as one of the most exquisite coin designs, embodying ideals of freedom and progress. Lady Liberty is depicted against a backdrop of the sun’s rays radiating outward, evoking a sense of hope and optimism for the future. Her flowing robes and windswept hair convey a sense of movement and dynamism, while her gaze is fixed firmly ahead, reflecting her unwavering commitment to the ideals of freedom and justice.
For the reverse of 1/2 oz. Gold American Eagle coin, the US Mint features one of two possible designs. From 1986 to mid-2021, the US mint featured Miley Busiek’s depiction of a family of bald eagles in and around the nest. As of mid-2021, to commemorate the American Eagle’s 35th anniversary, the coins now feature Jennie Norris’ image of the head of a bald eagle in left-profile relief. The new design incorporates security features for heightened assurance.
