The American Eagle gold coin's front side is a modern take on the beloved $20 Saint-Gaudens gold coin, featuring Lady Liberty. Interestingly, the date was displayed in Roman numerals from 1986 to 1991, and has used Arabic numerals since. The coin's back depicts a bald eagle landing in its nest, a design by Miley Busiek.
American Eagle gold coins are crafted exclusively from gold mined within the United States.
While they are 22 karat gold, a small amount of other metals is added to improve durability, each one-ounce coin contains a full ounce of pure gold.
The U.S. government fully backs the gold content, weight, and purity of American Eagle coins. This government guarantee makes them highly sought-after and easily traded globally, solidifying their status as one of the world's most popular gold bullion coins.
