Augustus Saint‑Gaudens created this Liberty at Theodore Roosevelt’s request for the 20‑dollar gold coin of 1907. In his own words: “My idea is to make it a living thing and typical of progress.” Since 1986, the gold American Eagle has carried a rendition of his design.

Fixed by law
Four sizes, one law.
The Gold Bullion Coin Act of 17 December 1985 sets the fine gold content, weight and diameter of each of the four sizes. It requires the gold to be bought from deposits in the United States, within one year after it was mined. In the absence of such gold, gold from reserves held by the United States may also be used. According to the United States Mint, “their weight, content, and purity are guaranteed by the United States Government”.

- Manufacturer: United States Mint
- Investment purpose: Bullion coin offering inflation hedge, value retention and crisis protection

The 1/4 oz Gold American Eagle 2026 embodies the American dream of freedom and prosperity like hardly any other coin. With its impressive design and the proven quality of the US Mint, it is one of the most sought-after gold coins worldwide.
A Masterpiece of American Minting Art
The reverse features a powerful eagle's head – the heraldic animal of the United States. This symbol of strength is framed by the face value of 10 USD, the weight, and the proud inscription "United States of America". Above the majestic eagle's head are the meaningful words "E Pluribus Unum" and "In God We Trust" – a testament to the core values of the American nation.
On the obverse, we encounter Lady Liberty in all her splendor. The goddess of liberty, long a symbol of American ideals, is accompanied by the year of issue 2026. This iconic depiction makes each individual coin a small work of art.
Why the American Eagle Gold Belongs to the Elite of Bullion Coins
With a fine weight of exactly 7.78 grams of pure gold and a diameter of 22 mm, this quarter coin fits perfectly in the hand. The special alloy of 916.67/1,000 fine gold not only gives it its characteristic warm luster, but also makes it more durable than coins made of pure gold.
