Design of the
1oz. American Eagle Gold 
Bullion Coin




Obverse

The 1 oz. American Eagle Gold Bullion Coin is based on world-renowned, American sculptor, Augustus Saint-Gaudens's design of the 1907 $20 gold coin.

The obverse design of the American Eagle Gold bullion coin depicts Lady Liberty in a flowing gown with windblown hair standing proudly over the U.S. Capitol in the lower background.

A torch is in Liberty's right hand, and an olive branch is in her left hand.

"LIBERTY" is inscribed along the top of the gold coin.

The Year of Issue for the gold bullion coin can be found below the olive branch.

The Edge of the coin is Reeded.

Note: From 1986 - 1991, American Eagle Gold coin had the Year of Issue stated in Roman Numerals. From 1992 to present, the year of issue has been numerical.










Reverse

Symbolizing American tradition and unity, the reverse side of the American Eagle Gold bullion coin depicts a family of eagles, designed by Miley Busiek (now Miley Frost).

Miley's design shows an eagle returning to his family's nest with olive branches in his talons.

Across the top of the 1 oz. Gold bullion coin is the words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA."

Found along the bottom of the gold eagle bullion coin, is its Weight, Purity and Face Value, "1 OZ. FINE GOLD~50 DOLLARS."

Also displayed on the reverse side of the coin are two phrases that are found on all American currency "E PLURIBUS UNUM," which is Latin for "Out of Many, One," and "IN GOD WE TRUST."

Underneath the nesting family of eagles is the initials "MB" which are the initial's of Miley Busiek, and the initials "JW" are the initials of Sherl Joseph Winter, who was the original engraver of the gold coin.

Note: American Eagle bullion coins do not have a Mint Mark.  Only the Collector's Proof and Collector's Un-Circulated Versions of the American Gold Eagle have a mint mark on the reverse side.
