2025 American Gold Eagle Design

The obverse design was originally envisioned by Augustus Saint-Gaundens for the $20 1907 Double Eagle circulating coin. Though that denomination was discontinued in 1933, the design remained a favorite among collectors and numismatists. Thus, in 1986, with the introduction of the American Gold Eagle program, the US Mint decided to revamp the design for the Gold Eagle.

Lady Liberty is depicted at the center of the design, holding a lit torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other. The sun rays are rising in the backdrop with the US Capitol building visible in the left-face of the design. On the right lies the mintage year. Arching on top is the inscription "LIBERTY" while six-pointed stars surround the whole depiction.

The reverse design, a creation of Jennie Norris, displays a majestic bald eagle’s head with a powerful gaze. Above the eagle’s head are the mottos "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and "IN GOD WE TRUST". Completing the design around the outer rim are the engravings "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "50 DOLLARS 1 OZ. FINE GOLD."

Security Features

The 2025 American Gold Eagle coins have a reeded edge variation as an anti-counterfeiting security feature that gives investors the peace of mind that their investment is authentic.

2025 American Gold Eagle Mintage

The 1/2 oz American Gold Eagle is the largest fractional option available in the American Eagles Program, struck from 22-karat gold (.9167 fineness). To enhance durability, the United States Mint adds 3% silver and 5.33% copper into the alloy. However, the coin is guaranteed to contain a full half troy ounce of pure gold, making it slightly heavier than similar gold coins from other countries.

The coin weighs 0.5455 troy ounces (or 16.966 grams) and has a diameter of 1.063 inches (27.00 mm).

The American Gold Eagle Series

The US Mint launched the American Eagle Program in 1986. Gold Eagles are available in four different size options 1 oz ($50 face value), 1/2 oz ($25 face value), 1/4 oz ($10 face value), and 1/10 oz ($5 face value).

The program has largely become one of the most successful gold coin programs in the world. In 2021, to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the US Gold Eagles, the US Mint introduced a new design by AIP artist Jennie Norris.
