The Design
The beautiful and classic design of this gold bullion coin is captured in the graceful Striding Liberty, first created by Augustus Saint Gaudens for the 1907-1933 $20 U.S. Double Eagle gold coin. The reverse depicts a nest of American eagles signifying the strength and security of American families. Only gold mined in the United States, by law, is used in the minting of American Gold Eagles. Since its introduction in 1986, its four sizes, one-ounce, half-ounce, quarter-ounce and one-tenth ounce, have become the world’s most widely traded gold bullion coins
