Comment

2021 introduced a new design to the reverse; both designs were minted.

New 2021 Design for the Gold Eagle Reverse
To mark the 35th anniversary of the American Gold Eagle, the United States Mint offers a brand-new design on the reverse field of the coins for the first time in the history of the collection. Created by US Mint Artistic Infusion Program Artist Jennie Norris, the new design for the reverse features the following elements:

The American bald eagle is featured in left-profile relief with incredible detail in the feathers on its head. The bald eagle gazes toward the horizon with its piercing glare cutting right through the viewer. The individual features of its body are easily visible, even the distinction between the features of its head and those of its body. The inscriptions arranged on the new design element include “United States of America,” “E Pluribus Unum,” and “In God We Trust” above the head of the bald eagle. The inscriptions below include “50 Dollars” and “1 oz Fine Gold.” The fractional-ounce coins will feature the requisite markings of each coin’s individual face value and weight.
Jennie Norris is the designer of note whose artwork was chosen from a group of more than 34 designs to be the new face of the collection. Ms. Norris has a background as a professional graphic designer, illustrator, and award-winning artist. Her works have featured in the gift and stationery industry, as well as other retail products for the likes of Crayola, Sea World, Hasbro, Hershey, JoAnn Stores, Target, and Costco. In this particular design, Ms. Norris drew on her years of experience working as a volunteer raptor handler to capture the true beauty of the American bald eagle.

Interesting fact

The American Gold Eagle coin has a unique feature - it's minted with 24-karat gold, which is 99.9% pure gold. This makes it stand out from other coins that are typically minted with a lower percentage of gold.
