The US Mint’s commemorative gold coin program began in 1986 and has since produced dozens of unique $5 gold coins. Each release features designs specific to its theme, with obverse artwork typically highlighting a portrait, event, or symbol, while the reverse often includes the American eagle or related patriotic imagery.
Examples of past $5 commemorative issues include coins celebrating the Bicentennial of the US Constitution, the 50th Anniversary of Mount Rushmore, the Bill of Rights, military service, and significant anniversaries of American history and culture.
All $5 Commemorative Gold Coins are struck with a face value of $5 but contain nearly a quarter-ounce of pure gold, making them highly attractive to both collectors and investors. Their limited mintage and historically significant themes enhance their long-term desirability.
Each coin offered comes from a random year and is delivered in varied condition, making every purchase a surprise connection to a unique chapter of American history.
