The latest design series within the Proof Platinum Eagle Series celebrates the freedoms enshrined in the United States Constitution. The First Amendment of the Constitution Series debuted in 2021 and this new design in 2022 is the second of the series.
The obverse side of 2022 Proof Platinum American Eagles comes with an image of a blossoming oak tree. From the small acorn that was ready to take root in the 2021 release, the oak is now blossoming. With small branches growing, the design now captures a tree that is mature enough to blossom.
On the reverse face of the 2022-W 1 oz Proof Platinum Eagle is a depiction of the American bald eagle. In this design, the eagle swoops into view from the right side of the coin with its wings coming forward and its talons clutching an olive branch.
Proof Platinum Eagles debuted in 1997 with 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz coins available. In 2008, the US Mint halted the fractional-ounce coins. Today, the series continues only with the 1 oz platinum coin available.
