Iconic Lady Liberty design

The American Gold Eagle series is renowned for its captivating designs and lasting craftsmanship. The obverse side features a rendition of Augustus Saint-Gaudens' celebrated Lady Liberty, holding a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other, symbolizing enlightenment and peace. This motif dates back to the early 1900s, representing a cornerstone of American artistic legacy. The reverse side complements this with a family of bald eagles, crafted by sculptor Miley Busiek, epitomizing the American family and national unity.

Meticulously crafted, the proof gold coin exhibits a high-relief strike and mirror-like background, enhancing the design’s depth and brilliance. Manufactured with precision by the U.S. Mint, the substantial gold content is coupled with rigorous quality standards, ensuring both intrinsic and aesthetic value.
