Introduction

The 2025 1/2 oz Gold American Eagle continues the proud legacy of the United States Mint’s most iconic gold bullion coin. Struck in 22-karat gold (.9167 fine) and containing one-half troy ounce of pure gold, this coin offers a perfect balance of size, beauty, and value. Backed by the U.S. government for weight and purity, the Gold Eagle remains a trusted choice among collectors and investors seeking timeless design and unmatched liquidity.

History

First introduced in 1986 under the Gold Bullion Coin Act, the American Eagle series was created to reestablish U.S. gold coinage for modern investors and honor the nation’s artistic heritage. Its obverse revives Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ celebrated Liberty design from the 1907-1933 Double Eagle, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful images in American numismatics. In 2021, the U.S. Mint unveiled the Type 2 reverse design by Jennie Norris, featuring a striking close-up of the American bald eagle. The 2025 release continues this tradition of artistry and innovation, representing the enduring strength and spirit of the United States.

Design

The obverse of the 2025 1/2 oz Gold American Eagle depicts Lady Liberty holding a torch and olive branch, framed by the rays of a rising sun and the U.S. Capitol in the background. The reverse features Jennie Norris’ detailed portrait of the bald eagle, a symbol of power and freedom rendered with precision and depth. Each coin weighs 16.966 grams, measures 27 mm in diameter, and is alloyed with silver and copper to enhance durability while preserving its golden brilliance. Combining historic symbolism with modern minting excellence, the 2025 1/2 oz Gold American Eagle is both a work of art and a store of enduring value.
