Worth its weight in gold, the one-ounce American Gold Eagle coin is a rock-solid investment with stability. It is the number one gold bullion coin in the world whose weight, content and purity is guaranteed by the U.S. government. The American Eagle gold bullion series debuted in 1986 and are minted in twenty-two karat solid gold. The obverse (front) design is inspired by what’s often considered one of America’s most beautiful coins: Augustus Saint Gaudens’ celebrated $20 gold piece, minted from 1907-1933. The American Eagle’s obverse design features a rendition of the full-length figure of Lady Liberty with flowing hair, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, with the Capitol building in the left background. Sculptor Miley Busiek designed the reverse of the coin, featuring a male eagle carrying an olive branch, flying above a nest containing a female eagle and her hatchlings. This particular composition is to signify the strength, security and unity of the American family.
