2026 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Design
The obverse showcases Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic 1907 $20 Liberty Double Eagle design, depicting Liberty confidently advancing with radiant sun beams behind her and the Capitol dome serving as the backdrop. In one hand, she holds a torch symbolizing enlightenment, and in the other, an olive branch representing peace. For this 2026 release, the dual dates (1776-2026) and Liberty Bell privy marked with '250' have been added. The reverse, introduced in 2021, features a detailed profile of a bald eagle by artist Jennie Norris. Her design captures the strength and grace of the national bird, offering a fresh yet powerful symbol of American pride. This modern interpretation succeeded the original reverse by Miley Busiek, which portrayed a family of eagles and had been featured since the coin’s debut in 1986.

United States Mint
On April 2, 1792, Congress passed the Coinage Act, laying the foundation for the first official U.S. Mint in Philadelphia, which served as the young nation's capital at the time. Over the years, the U.S. Mint became the sole institution authorized to produce legal tender coinage, consistently maintaining strict standards for metal content and weight. Today, that tradition of precision and reliability continues, reinforcing worldwide confidence in the integrity and quality of each Gold Eagle issued.
