Design Rich in History and Symbolism
The obverse of this coin borrows from the timeless Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle design, featuring Lady Liberty holding a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other—symbols of enlightenment and peace. The details are enhanced from the original bronze casting, giving it a fresh yet classic look.
Flip it over and you’ll see the original Type 1 reverse used from 1986 through 2021. It beautifully captures an American Bald Eagle in flight, carrying an olive branch back to its nest where a female eagle waits with their eaglets. This imagery resonates deeply, reflecting family, strength, and renewal.
