Its blend of trusted gold content, iconic artistry, and unique one-year-only status makes it highly appealing to both investors and collectors.

A Historic Year with Two Reverse Designs

In 2021, the US Mint prepared to introduce a brand-new bald eagle reverse design for the oz American Gold Eagle Coin series. However, because the final design and dies were not ready in time for the initial production, the Mint proceeded with the classic historic reverse to ensure gold coins were issued on schedule and demand was met.

By mid-2021, the Mint began striking additional 2021 Gold Eagles across all weights with the new reverse design, creating a historic milestone. As a result, the 2021 American Gold Eagle is the first coin in the series to feature two different reverse designs in the same year, increasing its long-term collectible appeal.
