This iconic image captures Liberty’s graceful stride with a torch and olive branch, symbolizing enlightenment and peace. Inscriptions include LIBERTY, 2006, and the W mint mark.
Reverse
On the reverse side of the 2006-W Proof Eagle 1 oz Gold Coins, you’ll find Miley Busiek’s stirring depiction of the American bald eagle. This poignant design portrays a family of eagles, with a female and hatchling nestled in the nest while a male eagle soars overhead, representing strength and unity. Inscriptions read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, IN GOD WE TRUST, 1 OZ. FINE GOLD, and 50 DOLLARS.
History
The 2006 release of American Gold Eagles witnessed a notable increase in demand, particularly for the 1 oz Proof Gold Eagle. While demand for the four weights in the BU range experienced declines, the three fractional weights in the Proof range also saw a decrease. Notably, the 1 oz Proof Gold Eagle saw a significant uptick in production, rising from 35,246 coins in 2005 to 47,092 coins in 2006.
