Struck by the United States Mint, this coin is part of the esteemed American Gold Eagle series, celebrated for its iconic designs and exceptional gold content.
The history of American gold coinage dates back to the early 19th century when the United States faced a shortage of circulating coinage. In response, the U.S. Mint began producing gold coins, including the famous Gold Eagle coins, to help stabilize the nation's economy. These early gold coins played a crucial role in commerce and trade, and their legacy continues today.

The word "LIBERTY" is inscribed above, and the year of mintage, "2010," is displayed below. On the reverse side of the coin, a family of American bald eagles is portrayed. The male eagle is depicted carrying an olive branch, symbolizing a desire for peace, while the female eagle is shown nesting with their hatchlings. This powerful image symbolizes American strength, unity, and family values. The reverse also features inscriptions of "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," and "IN GOD WE TRUST."
