The 2021 1 oz Gold Eagle Design
American Gold Eagles are decorated with one of the most iconic designs to ever portray on a US coin in history, Lady Liberty striding with the rising sun on Her back, as originally created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1907.
The design was used for the Double Eagles until they were discontinued in 1933 when the US Mint stopped the production of circulating coins made of gold.
Obverse
Commonly known as a Saint-Gaudens design, the obverse of the coin features the female figure Liberty striding towards the viewer’s direction with a rising sun on Her back. She holds an olive branch on her left hand, and a lit torch on the right, as she lights a path to freedom. The Capitol Building is visible on the horizon and the whole scene is encircled by six-pointed stars.
Reverse
Two distinct reverse designs will be used for the 2021 issue. During the first half of the year, the classic design, by Miley Busiek Frost, features a bald eagle adding a branch to its nest where its mate and eaglet await. The mottos “E PLURIBUS UNUM” and “IN GOD WE TRUST” are inscribed on the left and right hand of the design, respectively. Surrounding the outer rim, “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” is written on top and, on the bottom, it says “1 OZ. FINE GOLD ~ 50 DOLLARS”.
The new reverse design was announced in October of 2020 and is to be implemented in the second half of 2021. It was created by artist Jennie Norris, and sculpted by the US Mint medallic artist Renata Gordon. It is composed of a simple, yet highly detailed, portrait of a bald eagle’s head, intensely staring ahead. In the artist’s own words, this earnest gaze represents the “pride and wisdom passed down through generations of time”. Both inscriptions “E PLURIBUS UNUM” and “IN GOD WE TRUST” have been relocated to the top of the design, above the eagle’s head. The words on the outline remain the same, but are now separated by 5-pointed stars.
