The obverse of the 2025 1/2 oz Gold Eagle Coins showcases Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic design, created in 1907. The full-length figure of Liberty is depicted in front-facing relief, walking forward with a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. The background includes a ring of stars, sunrays behind Liberty, and the U.S. Capitol.
The reverse of the 2025 American Gold Eagle displays a modern interpretation of the American bald eagle, introduced in July 2021. Designed by Jennie Norris in 2020, the left-profile relief of the eagle’s head captures fine details of its plumage and piercing gaze, marking the first design update in the coin’s history.
