American Gold Eagle History and Design
The famous coins debuted in 1986 in four different weights. The bullion versions of the coin are struck every year with 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz weights available to gold investors. The 1 oz and 1/10 oz coins are, historically, the most popular among gold buyers.
Their design is based upon one originally commissioned by President Theodore Roosevelt. The reverse of American Gold Eagles features the design of a family of bald eagles. While a male flies over the nest with a branch in its talons, a female stands guard in the nest offering her wing as shelter to a young hatchling. This design was created specifically for the Gold Eagle series in 1986 by artist and sculptor Miley Busiek.
