Introduction

The 2025 1/4 oz Gold American Eagle embodies the craftsmanship and heritage of the United States Mint’s most iconic gold bullion series. Struck in 22-karat gold (.9167 fine) and containing one-quarter troy ounce of pure gold, this fractional-sized coin offers the same renowned beauty and government-backed assurance as its full-ounce counterpart. Balancing collectibility and affordability, the 1/4 oz Gold Eagle is a favorite among both seasoned collectors and new investors seeking a trusted way to hold physical gold.

History

Since its introduction in 1986 under the Gold Bullion Coin Act, the American Eagle program has represented the pinnacle of U.S. minting artistry and reliability. Its obverse design revives Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ legendary depiction of Liberty, originally used on the $20 Double Eagle from 1907 to 1933—often hailed as the most beautiful design in U.S. coinage history. In 2021, the Mint unveiled the Type 2 reverse design by Jennie Norris, capturing the noble strength of America’s national bird. The 2025 issue continues this proud tradition, showcasing both timeless artistry and the latest minting innovations that have defined the Gold Eagle for nearly four decades.

Design

The obverse of the 2025 1/4 oz Gold American Eagle features Lady Liberty striding forward with a torch and olive branch in hand, her flowing hair illuminated by the rays of the rising sun—symbolizing enlightenment and peace. The reverse showcases Jennie Norris’ detailed portrayal of a bald eagle, its keen gaze representing courage and vigilance. Each coin weighs 8.483 grams, measures approximately 22 mm in diameter, and is alloyed with small amounts of copper and silver to enhance durability while preserving its rich golden hue. Combining artistry, security, and intrinsic value, the 2025 1/4 oz Gold American Eagle continues to define excellence in modern U.S. bullion coinage.
