For the first time in the history of the Gold American Eagle Series, the United States Mint is making a major change to the designs. In honor of the 35th anniversary of the series in 2021, a new version of the Gold Eagle will debut by midyear that features a fresh take on the bald eagle on the reverse. Until those coins are ready, the US Mint will release the initial 2021 Gold Eagles with the original design from Miley Busiek on the reverse for the final time. This makes 2021 the first and only dual release of Gold Eagles, with the original designs followed by the new design combinations.
The only previous change made to the imagery on the Gold American Eagles came in 1992. From 1986 to 1991, the coins featured date marks in Roman numerals. In 1992, the US Mint transitioned the date marks to Arabic numerals.
The obverse side of 2021 1 oz Gold American Eagles features the Lady Liberty design from Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Created in 1907, this image of Liberty in front-facing relief featured on the Gold $20 Double Eagle from 1907 to 1933.
On the reverse field of 2021 Gold American Eagles depicts a family of American bald eagles. In this design from Miley Busiek, a male eagle is shown flying over the nest with a branch in its talons as a female shelters in the nest with a hatchling.
