MCM Picks: Memorial Day. Mint has introduced new imagery for its American Gold Eagle series in 2021! After thirty-five years of issue, this first ever design change to the series is focused mainly on the reverse, as the iconic family of eagles scene (Type-1) has been completely replaced with a portrait of a lone eagle (Type-2). The new Type-2 Eagle Portrait reverse design is featured on this 2021 American Gold Eagle coin! The 16.5 mm diameter bullion coin contains 1/10 Troy oz. ModernCoinMart’s exclusive Eagle themed certification label is included with the coin. The exceptionally graded coin received the coveted First Day of Issue designation. Obverse: Lady Liberty is portrayed as a young woman surrounded by fifty stars on the obverse, walking forward while carrying a flaming torch and olive branch, as the sun’s rays emanate around the dome of the U. Capitol Building in the background. Inscriptions include “LIBERTY” and 2021. This personification of Liberty is borrowed from the 1907 Gold Double Eagle coin, the design of which was a collaboration between President Theodore Roosevelt and Augustus Saint-Gaudens, one of the most prolific sculptors of the late 19th and early 20th century. Although the overall obverse image remains unchanged, design enhancements for the Type-2 Gold Eagle include the restoration of legacy details to the Capitol Building, stars, torch and sun rays, which are derived from the original bronze cast.

The stunningly detailed rendition is surrounded by the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ” “E PLURIBUS UNUM, ” “IN GOD WE TRUST, ” “5 DOLLARS” and 1/10 OZ.
