American Gold Eagles
Since its introduction in 1986, the American Gold Eagles series has been the cornerstone of the United States' gold bullion offerings. Authorized by the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985, each coin in the series is struck from 22 karat gold. The series is celebrated for its consistent quality, iconic designs, and U.S. government-backed guarantee, making it a trusted choice for collectors and investors. The 1 oz American Gold Eagle is highly prized for its substantial gold content and its status as legal tender in the United States.

2025 1 oz American Gold Eagle Design
The obverse of the 2025 American Gold Eagle continues to feature Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic design of Lady Liberty, a motif that has been a hallmark of the series since its inception in 1986. This design, originally used on the $20 Gold Double Eagle, represents freedom and peace, with Liberty holding a torch and olive branch as symbols of enlightenment.

In 2021, the reverse design was updated, introducing Jennie Norris's detailed portrayal of a bald eagle. This design replaced the original design by Miley Busiek, offering a modern interpretation of American strength and resilience. The intricate detailing of the eagle’s feathers and expression adds depth and realism to this iconic series.
