For the iconic imagery the Proof Gold American Eagle Series is known for, we have two talented sculptors and engravers who are responsible for the obverse and the reverse. They are Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Miley Busiek respectively.
For the obverse field of the 1987-W 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coin, the image of Lady Liberty is featured.

She strides away from the Capitol with sun rays lighting the path of her feet. Inscriptions include “LIBERTY” and the year of mintage.
