Obverse
The obverse of the 2016-W Proof American Gold Eagle Coin showcases Saint-Gaudens’ Lady Liberty, depicted with flowing hair, holding a torch and an olive branch, along with the inscriptions “LIBERTY” and “2016.”
Reverse
The reverse of the 2016-W 1/4 oz Proof Gold Eagle Coin features a male Bald Eagle carrying an olive branch to his nest, where a female eagle and hatchlings wait. This design is complemented by the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “1/4 OZ FINE GOLD – 10 DOLLARS,” and the West Point Mint’s “W” mark.
History
The American Gold Eagle’s design has its roots in the Double Eagle gold piece, produced from 1907 to 1933. This coin, designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, was commissioned by President Theodore Roosevelt to beautify American coinage. Saint-Gaudens’ creation was a high-relief coin that remains one of the most celebrated designs. The U.S. Mint began the American Gold Eagle series in 1986, offering coins that appeal to both investors and collectors.
