The American Eagle is the official gold bullion coin of the United States, authorised under the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985. First issued in 1986, American Eagle coins are guaranteed by the U.S. government to contain their stated gold weight in troy ounces. By law, the gold must be sourced from within the United States and is alloyed with silver and copper to create a more durable, wear-resistant coin. In 2021, the American Eagle marked its 35th anniversary with the introduction of a refreshed design. The new reverse, created by designer Jennie Norris and sculpted by Renata Gordon, features a striking close-up portrait of an eagle. The obverse was also updated with enhanced detail based on Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ original design, further refining this iconic image. Weights are guaranteed by the U.S. Mint.
