The 2021 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 2021 Type 1 coin carries the original family-of-eagles reverse and represents the final bullion release of the first Gold American Eagle reverse era. It is an important transition-year issue for collectors.
