The American Gold Eagle Coin was first released in 1986. This 1/10 oz version is 22 carat gold and is made from 91.67% gold and 8.33% copper to make it more durable. This combination is traditionally referred to as ‘crown gold’ and is used to make coins last longer, while still containing the requisite amount of gold. The total weight of this coin is 0.1197 troy ounces and this allows the coin to still have 1/10 oz of gold, even though it is not 999 or 9999 pure gold.
Description
The obverse of the coin features a full length rendition of Lady Liberty with an olive branch in her left hand and a torch in her right hand. The Capitol building is in the background. Lady Liberty is encircled by a rising sun and 50 stars. The word “LIBERTY” and the year of minting are also printed on the face of the coin.
The reverse of the coin features a flying male eagle with an olive branch and a female eagle and her hatchlings in her nest. The words “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” are featured prominently and the phrases “E pluribus unum” and “In God we trust” are on either side and the bottom contains the weight, purity, and face value, “1/10 oz Fine Gold – 5 Dollars”.
