The Design

The obverse displays Lady Liberty walking forward, with the US Capitol on her feet, heading to the future. 

In the image, she carries a torch and an olive branch, meaning light and peace for the upcoming years. 

Fourty-six stars, representing the number of states of that time, surround the image with “LIBERTY” on the upper rim and the year of issuance on the bottom. 

The lovely image of a family of Bald Eagles stamps the reverse. The female eagle cherishes its hatchling under her wing while the male perches their nest. 

Weight, metal content, and face value are described as “1/2 OZ. FINE GOLD—25 DOLLARS.” The engravings “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and the mottos “E PLURIBUS UNUM” and “IN GOD WE TRUST” supplement the imagery.

An NGC MS-70 First Day of Issue coin 

NGC—Numismatic Guaranty Company is an internationally recognized service that works independently from sovereign mints. It appraises and grades coins using the Sheldon Scale, which ranges from 1 to 70.

For NGC, a “First Day of Issue” is a coin purchased from the US Mint on the very first day it was made publicly available.

The term MS or Mint State describes a coin with the same format as a business circulation one that remained uncirculated. 70 is the grade given to coins with no visible flaws.
