Description
The 1988 half-ounce American Gold Eagle, dated MCMLXXXVIII, holds half a troy ounce of fine gold within 16.966 grams of 22 karat alloy, the balance silver and copper; it measures 27 millimeters wide and 2.24 thick, with a reeded edge and a $25 face value. The obverse is Saint-Gaudens' striding Liberty, borrowed from his 1907 double eagle. The reverse is Miley Busiek Frost's nest scene: a male eagle bringing an olive branch to a female and two eaglets. The Gold Eagle took up the Liberty design in 1986.
