Description
The American Gold Eagle 1/10 oz is a 22k (.9167 fine), U.S. Gold coin. Containing 1/10 troy oz. of gold, the 1/10 oz Gold Eagle bears a nominal face value of $5.
Minted at the US Mint in West Point, N.Y. since 1986, the American Gold Eagle features a design based on America’s most iconic coin, the Saint-Gaudens “Double Eagle”.
The obverse depicts Lady Liberty, with her flowing hair, walking against a backdrop of the sun’s rays. She holds the torch of freedom in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. At the top of coin is the word LIBERTY. To her left (our right), towards the bottom, is the date. At the lower left is the US Capitol building. The coin is ringed by 50 stars, representing the 50 states.
The reverse was designed by sculptor Miley Busiek. It features a male American Bald Eagle carrying an olive branch flying above a nest containing a waiting female eagle and her hatchlings.
