Each Golden Eagle Value is Based on Its Gold Content

8:09 AM


Introduced in 1986 by the United States Mint, the American Gold Eagle series, minted in four different sizes:
  • 1 oz. (1 troy ounce, a fifty-dollar face value coin)
  • 1/2 oz. (1/2 troy ounce, a twenty-five-dollar face value coin)
  • ¼ oz. (1/2 troy ounce, a ten-dollar face value coin)
  • 1/10 oz. (1/10 troy, a five-dollar face value coin).


The front (obverse) of the coin looks similar to the 1907-1933 twenty-dollar gold piece and its depiction of a robed lady Liberty, designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens.

The back (reverse) of the coin is adorned by a family of eagles, and the words “United States of America”, “In God We Trust”, “E Pluribus Unum”, the face value, and the gold weight of the coin.
