US Gold Eagles

The US Mint introduced the modern Eagle in 1986 to supply the large American market with a bullion coin which was sold at a low premium over the intrinsic metal value. Demand continues to grow for both physical gold and silver ensuring the Eagle remains the favourite investment coin in America.

The Eagle is a popular coin with both investors and coin collectors all over the world.

Obverse

The obverse features a magnificent version of American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gauden's full length figure of Liberty with flowing hair, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. The engraver's initials ASG are placed in relief to the right of the figure below the year date.

Reverse

The reverse features a male eagle carrying an olive branch, flying above a nest containing a female eagle and eaglets. This symbolises family tradition and of course, the unity of the United States. The coin bears the inscription:

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 1 OZ. FINE GOLD - 50 DOLLARS

With the motto:

E PLURIBUS UNUM IN GOD WE TRUST.
