The obverse features Liberty striding forward holding a torch and olive branch, with rays of sunlight behind her — widely considered the most beautiful U.S. coin design — adapted from the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, while the reverse displays a family of eagles — an adult and two juveniles — in a nest, designed by Miley Busiek (1986-2020) or an eagle portrait by Jennie Norris, the redesigned reverse introduced in 2021 (2021+). Designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens (obverse) / Miley Busiek (reverse 1986-2020) / Jennie Norris (reverse 2021+). Struck in 91.67% gold, 3% silver, 5.33% copper, weighing 3.39 grams, 16.5 mm in diameter. Cataloged as PCGS #896339. The tenth-ounce American Gold Eagle is the smallest and most affordable entry point into the Gold Eagle program. Annual proof editions and the accessibility of the small gold denomination make this a popular collector and investor coin.
