American Gold Eagle Series
First minted in 1986, the American Gold Eagle series quickly gained recognition as a premier choice for gold investors and collectors alike. The series was created under the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985, which authorized the U.S. Mint to produce gold coins in multiple sizes: 1 oz, ½ oz, ¼ oz, and 1/10 oz. The ½ oz Gold Eagle contains half an ounce (15.55 grams) of pure gold with a fineness of .9167, bringing its total weight to 16.97 grams or 0.5455 troy ounces. Fractional gold coins, such as the ½ oz denomination, are particularly appealing to investors who seek to diversify their portfolios with smaller, more manageable units of gold.

2025 1/2 oz American Gold Eagle Design
The 2025 1/2 oz American Gold Eagle continues the tradition of combining the historic Saint-Gaudens design with the contemporary Jennie Norris reverse. Saint-Gaudens' design, which first appeared on the $20 Gold Double Eagle in 1907, features Lady Liberty striding forward with a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other, embodying freedom and peace.

Jennie Norris' 2021 design marked a significant update to the series, offering a close-up view of a bald eagle, symbolizing American strength and resilience. This design replaced Miley Busiek's design that featured a family of eagles, which had been the hallmark of the series for over three decades. The new reverse brings a fresh perspective while maintaining the strong heritage of the American Gold Eagle series.
