The reverse side of the American Gold Eagle has featured the image of the American bald eagle since the coin’s introduction. In Native American culture, the bald eagle holds great spiritual significance, often seen as a messenger between humans and the divine. Its feathers are sacred in many ceremonies, symbolizing strength and courage.

Each 2025 1 oz American Gold Eagle Coin has been graded Mint State 70, meaning it is in perfect condition with no visible flaws. The First Strike certification indicates these coins were received by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) within 30 days of their release from the U.S. Mint, adding extra value and assurance.

On the obverse of the 2025 American Gold Eagle, you’ll see Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic 1907 design of Lady Liberty. This representation of Liberty, holding a torch and olive branch, was originally featured on the $20 Double Eagle coin, which circulated widely in the U.S. until 1933.

The reverse of the 2025 1 oz Gold Eagle Coin features a detailed depiction of a bald eagle, designed by Jennie Norris. This modern design, introduced in 2021 to mark the 35th anniversary of the series, showcases the eagle’s majestic profile, with intricate feathers and a powerful, calm expression.
