Gold American Eagles in the 1/2 oz weight represent the largest of the fractional-ounce coins in the series. The 1/2 oz and 1/4 oz coins in the series tend to fly under the radar with much lower demand than the 1/10 oz coin and the 1 oz coin in the collection. All four have been available in every year since 1986, with the 1/10 oz and 1 oz coins the only ones to ever top the group in terms of mintage in a given year. The 1/2 oz Gold Eagle has had the lowest mintage among the four coins in all but six years.
Augustus Saint-Gaudens created the image of Lady Liberty used on the obverse of the 2020 Gold American Eagles. This image was designed in 1907 and submitted to the US Mint during a major redesign effort for American coins. Saint-Gaudens submitted four Liberty designs in all for gold coins and the US penny at the time, with the $10 Gold Eagle and $20 Gold Double Eagle eventually bearing his designs.
The design on the reverse of 2020 1/2 oz Gold American Eagles was created specifically for this series in 1986 by Miley Busiek. The design includes a family of three bald eagles with one eagle in flight above the nest as another adult and a hatchling sit in the nest.
