Liberty walks forward with a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other. Stars around the edge frame the scene, while sunrays in the background add depth and energy. **Reverse** The reverse of the 2026 1 oz Gold Eagle carries the modern bald eagle design introduced in 2020. This portrait by Jennie Norris shows the eagles head in left-profile with strong detail and a clean, updated style. **History** The 1 oz American Gold Eagle was introduced in 1986 following the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985. This legislation allowed the US Mint to strike gold bullion coins again after a long pause that dated back to the 1930s. Each coin includes one troy ounce of 22-karat gold, with small amounts of copper and silver mixed in to strengthen the coin and help preserve the designs. The official face value is $50, but the price you pay is based on the gold spot market plus a premium. **Ordering** Please contact BGASC with any questions.
