1 oz. Gold American Eagle (1986-present)

The American Gold Eagle is an official gold bullion coin of the United States. Authorized under the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985, it was first released by the United States Mint in 1986. Because the term "eagle" also is the official United States designation for pre-1933 ten dollars gold coins, the weight of the bullion coin is typically used when describing American Gold Eagles (e.g., "1/2-ounce American Gold Eagle") to avoid confusion. This is particularly true with the 1/4-oz American Gold Eagle, which has a marked face value of ten dollars.

Each coin carries a legal tender value of $5 U.S. dollars. Additionally, coins are marked with the gold content - 1 10 oz fine gold. Though the coins contain a full tenth oz of gold, the purity is 22k (91.67% gold). The gross weight of each coin is slightly heavier than 1-10 oz because the gold is alloyed with a bit of copper and silver. Every coin's weight and purity is assured by the US Mint.

Lady Liberty (obverse) - The Striding Liberty artwork was first created by Augustus Saint Gaudens for the 1907-1933 double eagle gold bullion coin. It features the image of Lady Liberty walking forward with the sun's rays behind her as she carries a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her right.

Bald Eagle (reverse) - The reverse side of these 1/10 oz US gold coins feature a male bald eagle returning to his nest with an olive branch while his family awaits his arrival below.
