Description
The Gold American Eagle is the most traded and trusted coin in the world. It was first released in 1986 by the US Mint.
The obverse side of the 2024 American Gold Eagle Coins features the 1907 design of Lady Liberty which captures the full-length figure of Liberty in front-facing relief as she strides away from Washington D.C. Also, the U.S. Capitol Building at her feet, with a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. The background offers sun rays silhouetting her frame and a ring of stars around the field.
The reverse side of the coin comes with a depiction of the American bald eagle redesigned in 2021 which features the head of a single bald eagle in left-profile relief with stunning levels of detail in the bird’s physical features.
The contents of this coin are often misunderstood. While the various denominations of the Gold American Eagle are 22 karat and .9167 pure gold, the $10 GAE, for example, still has 1/4 full troy ounce of gold. Silver and copper are alloyed to add luster and hardness, not to dilute the purity of the coin.
The coin is minted at the US Mint in West Point, N.Y.
The $10 GAE has a diameter of 22 mm.
