The US Mints redesign of the reverse face of its leading coins in the American Eagle Series marks a first in the history of the series. No changes have ever occurred to the reverse design of the American Eagle Silver Coin since its introduction. The only change to come to the American Eagle Gold Coins design has been a switch from Roman numerals for the date marks to Arabic numerals, a change that occurred in 1992.

Obverse

On the obverse of 2021-W Proof American Eagle 1 oz Gold Coins is an effigy of Lady Liberty. This front-facing design was created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1907. It depicts Liberty walking away from Washington D.C. with the US Capitol Building visible at her feet in the background. With rays of sunshine framing her figure, she walks forward holding up a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left hand. The inscriptions on this field include Liberty, 2021, and the W mint mark of the West Point Mint.

Reverse

The reverse side of 2021-W Proof American Eagle Gold Coins features a family of bald eagles. This impressive, detailed design was created in 1986 for this series by Miley Busiek. It depicts a male eagle flying over the nest with a branch in its talons as a female eagle is depicted in the nest sheltering a young hatchling. Inscriptions on this side of the coin read United States of America, In God We Trust, E Pluribus Unum, and 1 oz. Fine Gold 50 Dollars.

History
