The gold coins of the Gold Eagle Series broke new ground for the US Mint in 1986. The mint had not issued gold coins on a regular basis since 1933. With 22-karat gold content, the Gold Eagle marked the purest gold coin the US Mint had issued in 152 years. Each Gold American Eagle has .9167 gold content with a balance of silver and copper.
The obverse of 2022 Gold American Eagles features the historic vision of Liberty created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. This stunning design shows Liberty in front-facing relief as she walks toward the viewer. She holds a torch in her right hand, carries an olive branch in her left, and is framed from behind by sun rays. The U.S. Capitol Building is at her feet while a ring of stars encircles her.
On the reverse field of 2022 1/2 oz Gold Eagles is the new design from Jennie Norris that debuted in 2021. This left-profile bust of the head of a bald eagle includes several detailed visuals of the bird’s physical characteristics. These include the hooked beak, its piercing gaze, and its elegant plumage.
