1/4 oz gold american eagle 2021 new design

The ¼ oz American Eagle Gold Coin (2021) is a highly sought-after piece for investors and collectors alike. As one of the newest additions to the American Eagle collection, this coin features a stunning new design released in July 2021 and would make a great investment for anyone interested in gold bullion coins.

What is the coin made of?

A renewed design by artist Jennie Norris from July 2021 replaces the original Gold Eagle which was introduced in 1986 on this stunning coin. The coin is made from 22-karat gold with a 91.67% purity, strengthened with 5.33% copper and 3% silver. It contains 7.7800 grams of fine gold for a total weight of 8.483 grams. This is the first year that the American Eagle coins have been minted with this new design, and it is sometimes referred to as the ‘2021 type II Golden Eagle’ as the old design features on American Eagle coins minted before July.

What’s on the coin?

The obverse side of this coin features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ traditional Lady Liberty design, a staple of American coins that has been used since 1986. The image depicts a full-length figure of Liberty with a flowing dress, holding a torch that is symbolic of freedom and hope, and an olive branch that is symbolic of peace. She is superimposed over rays of sunlight, and at her feet is the US Capitol Building which is a legacy element that was restored for this 2021 obverse design. Inscribed above her head is the word ‘Liberty’. The date also features on this side of the coin to the right of Lady Liberty, who is encircled by a ring of stars.

The reverse side of this coin features the newly designed American Eagle in stunning detail, which shows the side profile of the Eagle. The Eagle itself is the national animal of America and is a strong patriotic symbol that represents strength, courage, freedom, and immortality. Norris explains that her design captures ‘the intensity of the eagle’s stare through the close cropping’ and remarks that its gaze speaks of pride and wisdom passed down through generations of time’. Her initials ‘JN’ can be seen on the coin just beneath the eagle, as well as the initials of the coin’s sculptor, US Mint medallic artist Renata Gordon (RG), which feature above the Eagle on the right. Inscribed on this side of the coin also is the official motto of the United States ‘In God We Trust’, as well as ‘E Pluribus Unum’, Latin for ‘out of many, one’, which is widely acknowledged as a de facto national motto. Encircling the eagle is a description of the coin’s face value - 10 US dollars - as well as the weight of the coin and the country of minting.

Why should you invest in this coin?

The high demand for this coin accompanied by its stunning design and 916.7 fineness make the newly designed 2021 ¼ oz American Eagle Gold Coin a great choice for investors and hobbyists alike. In particular, the affordability of this coin makes it a great option for giving as a gift, or for investing in on a monthly basis in order to build up a strong gold portfolio over time.
