Historical Significance of the American Gold Eagle Series

The American Gold Eagle series holds a significant place in U.S. coinage. Authorized by the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985 and first minted in 1986, these coins quickly became a global standard for gold bullion and numismatic excellence. The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens' iconic "Lady Liberty" design, originally created for the 1907-1933 double eagle, striding forward with a torch and an olive branch. The reverse, designed by Miley Busiek, portrays a family of eagles, symbolizing American strength and unity. The 1993 issue continues this legacy, struck with the precision expected of the United States Mint.
