The 2020 1oz Gold American Eagle Bullion Coin is struck by the United States Mint in 22-carat gold and contains one troy ounce of fine gold. It is part of the classic Type 1 period of the American Gold Eagle bullion series, one of the most widely recognised modern gold coin programmes.
The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens' Liberty design, adapted from the historic Double Eagle coinage, while the reverse carries Miley Busiek's family-of-eagles reverse. This combination of American numismatic heritage and investment-grade bullion specification gives the coin strong international recognition.
The 2020 issue is the final full calendar year of the original family-of-eagles reverse before the major 2021 redesign, making it a useful boundary date for type collectors.
