Obverse

For the obverse face, the Proof American Eagle 1/2 oz Platinum Coin comes with the same design each year. Here, you will find John Mercantis depiction of the Statue of Libertys face as she gazes toward the viewer. Her iconic crown pierces toward the edges of the coins design field with Liberty, In God We Trust, and E Pluribus Unum inscribed on this face of the coin. You will also find the date mark on this face of the coin.

Reverse

In the reverse design element, Proof American Eagle Platinum Coins feature varying designs of the American bald eagle or other national emblems. Most of the coins in the Proof American Eagle 1/2 oz Platinum coin release have images of the American bald eagle. From 1998 to 2002, the US Mint issued the Vistas of Liberty Series with images of the bald eagle soaring over different regions of the country.

History

Proof American Eagle 1/2 oz Platinum Coins were only available from 1997 to 2008. The US Mint suspended the fractional-ounce coins in 2009, with only the 1 oz platinum coin continuing to be released each year.
