1998 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle Coin

The US Mint first released Gold Eagles to the numismatic market in 1986. The first coin was a 22k gold piece containing 1 Troy oz of fine gold with historic designs encompassing the Founding Fathers’s core values.

The American Eagle Program quickly added fractional options to the collection after its release in 1986. The 1/10 oz Gold Eagle is the smallest option, with a 5-dollar denomination and legal tender status.

The Design

Augustus Saint-Gauden designed the obverse to imprint the 1907 $20 Double Eagle Gold Coin. The American Eagle Program rescued the design to stamp Gold Eagles.

Lady Liberty, the feminine national guise, strides forward with a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other, symbolizing the nation's journey toward peace and enlightenment. The Capitol Building, the word “LIBERTY,” and the coin’s mintage year also appear in the design.

Miley Busiek's artwork features the reverse, with a female eagle protecting her hatchling beneath her wing while the male eagle watches from their nest. 

Weight, metal content, and face value are inscribed as “1/10 OZ. FINE GOLD—5 DOLLARS,” along with “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “IN GOD WE TRUST.”
