Since the beginning of the American Eagle Coin Program in 1986, collectors have flocked to the shelves to purchase American Gold Eagles every year. In order to make gold buying more accessible for a wider range of investors, the US Mint decided to include fractional gold coins in the series, including this 1/10 oz Gold Eagle. The original reverse designs on the Gold and Silver Eagle coins were replaced last year in 2021 to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the series’ launch. Now both the Gold and Silver Eagles display an updated reverse design. 

The obverse of the coin still keeps its original Augustus Saint Gaudens design. This image was originally featured on the Gold Double Eagles, which have not been struck since 1933. In the image, Lady Liberty carries a flaming torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other. Behind her, sunlight radiates forth from the US Capitol.

The reverse of the Gold Eagle coin shows off the new reverse design by AIP artist Jennie Norris, sculpted by Mint Medallic Artist Renata Gordon. The up-close portrait of a noble bald eagle is intended to inspire a feeling of pride in the viewer.
