The American Platinum Eagle is the only platinum bullion coin produced by the United States Mint. It was first introduced in 1997 and has been minted annually since then. The coin's design features a bald eagle soaring above the earth on its reverse side, while its obverse side bears the image of Lady Liberty. The coin is made of .9995 fine platinum and weighs 15.56 grams. It has a face value of $50, although its actual value is much higher due to its platinum content and collectibility.
