Obverse

Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ Liberty design, considered one of the finest in American coinage history, graces the obverse of this 1986 American Eagle Gold Coin. Modified slightly for this release to include two additional stars representing Hawaii and Alaska’s entry into the Union, it remains a timeless symbol of freedom and independence.

Reverse

The reverse of the 1986 Eagle 1 oz Gold Coin depicts a touching scene of a family of bald eagles in their nest, crafted by Miley Busiek. It captures the essence of familial care and protection, with the male eagle returning to the nest bearing an olive branch while the female watches over their young.

History

Produced annually by the United States Mint, American Gold Eagle coins are now available in various finishes, including bullion, proof, and burnished. However, the 1986 edition was initially offered in bullion and proof options, with the bullion version available in 1 oz and fractional weights.
