Description
The American Eagle gold coin was first released as official U.S. bullion in 1986 and has since become one of the most trusted and widely recognised gold bullion coins in the world. The value of the 1/2 oz American Eagle is typically slightly above the market value of its gold content, making it a reliable investment for both the long term and short term. The 1/2 oz gold eagle is made from 22-carat gold, which is 91.67% pure, and it weighs 16.96 grams.
The obverse side features an effigy of Liberty, with the year depicted to the right and stars surrounding the rim. The reverse side showcases an eagle in flight above a nest containing eaglets, with the country name above, along with the gold content and denomination indicated below.
