The word “LIBERTY” is engraved on the upper rim. The Capitol Building is on the lower left, and the coin’s mintage year is on the right.

Reverse Design Type 1

The original reverse design showcases a family of Bald Eagles, in which the female eagle cherishes its hatchling under her wing while the male one perches their nest. 

The inscriptions on this side are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” the mottos “E PLURIBUS UNUM” and “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the coin’s description of weight, metal content, and face value reading “1/2 OZ. FINE GOLD—25 DOLLARS.”

Reverse Design Type 2

The new reverse design was created by Jennie Norris and released in 2021 to celebrate the 35 years of the American Eagles Program. Norris’ design showcases the majestic bald eagle in a close-up depiction with a deep gaze and highlighted hooked beak. 

The inscriptions are the same as the original design. They feature the mottos "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and "IN GOD WE TRUST," the nation’s name "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "25 DOLLARS 1/2 OZ. FINE GOLD," referring to the coin’s face value, weight, and metal content.
