The Gold Eagle's design is a masterpiece in itself, with the iconic image of Lady Liberty gracing the obverse. Created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1907, this image has become a symbol of freedom and national pride. Her strong yet graceful depiction with a torch and olive branch resonates deeply with patriotic sentiment and serves as a beacon of peace and prosperity. The reverse hosts the majestic American Eagle, designed by sculptor Miley Busiek, capturing the nurturing spirit as it hovers gracefully above a nest, symbolizing the strength and unity of American families.
This coin's crafting at the West Point Mint adds a layer of prestige, known for meticulous attention to detail and exquisite craftsmanship.
