American Eagle 1/10 oz Gold 2016
The American Eagle is a gold investment coin with a bullion grade of 916. It is produced from 22-karat gold, and contains a small admixture of silver and copper. This small admixture of metals other than gold contributes to the coin's strength and colour. Bullion coins with the image of the personification of Liberty are a hallmark of the United States Mint. It is interesting to note that the bullion used in the production comes from local sources. The gold eagle is an investment product that is guaranteed by the US government as to its legality, the purity of the bullion and the origin of the metal, and is full legal tender in the issuing country. The American Eagle is a unique coin not only because of the high quality of its production, but also because it is a reverse-stamped coin. This means that the obverse is turned 180 degrees from the reverse. Keep in mind that the American Eagle is one of the best-selling and most popular gold bullion coins in the world. It is a product with high investment liquidity. Currencies of this nature are particularly recommended to investors. Additionally, coins having a smaller weight than 1 troy ounce are recommended to investors who value the divisibility of an investment portfolio.The obverse shows the personification of Liberty, symbol of the United States and liberation, walking with the attributes of peace: an olive branch and a torch. At her feet, the seat of the US Congress can be seen, with the rays of the sun in the background. The design of the obverse was created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. On the reverse is immortalised the image of an eagle landing in its nest, designed by American sculptor Miley Tucker-Frost. In addition, the reverse features the maxims of the Declaration of Independence: 'In God We Trust' and 'E pluribus unum'. Do you need help?
