American Gold Eagles Series
Introduced in 1986 under the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985, American Gold Eagles are among the world’s most recognized bullion coins, prized for durability, liquidity, and full U.S. government backing.

2026 1 oz American Gold Eagle Design
The coin’s obverse showcases Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ renowned image of Lady Liberty moving forward with determination and the Capitol in the background. In one hand, she carries a torch symbolizing enlightenment, and in the other, an olive branch representing peace, all set against radiant sunbeams. This time-honored design has represented American ideals for over 100 years. The reverse features a bold update introduced in 2021 by artist Jennie Norris, offering a striking close-up of a bald eagle. Her lifelike portrayal captures the bird’s strength and noble character, replacing the original reverse by Miley Busiek, which depicted a family of eagles and had been in use since the coin’s debut in 1986.

United States Mint
On April 2, 1792, Congress approved the Coinage Act, initiating the creation of the first official United States Mint in Philadelphia, which was then the nation’s capital. Over time, the Mint became the exclusive source for producing legal-tender coins, upholding strict standards for weight, composition, and craftsmanship. That legacy of precision endures today, with each Gold Eagle struck to exacting specifications, reinforcing international trust in its purity and authenticity.
