The following year, the U.S. Mint release the first Gold American Eagle coins into a market then-dominated by the South African Gold Krugerrand and Canadian Gold Maple Leaf. But thanks to its beloved classic design and backing by the United States government, the Gold American Eagle coin soon became a world standard for gold bullion coinage.

The Obverse Gold Eagle Design: Lady Liberty
The obverse of the Gold American Eagle coin features a majestic depiction of Lady Liberty, standing before the Capitol building with a torch held high in one hand and an olive branch in the other. This beloved design was first struck more than 115 years ago as the obverse of the famous $20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle gold coin—considered by many to be the most beautiful U.S. gold coin design ever produced. The Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle was produced from 1907 to 1933.
When the time came to choose an obverse for the first Gold American Eagle coins release in 1986, the U.S. Mint resurrected this beloved American classic as a reminder of the power of physical precious metals and beloved symbol of American prosperity.
