These 1991 1/4 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coins were part of the final year of issue for Gold Eagles using Roman numerals. From 1986 to 1991, the US Mint issued both bullion and proof Gold Eagles with date marks using Roman numerals. Beginning in 1992, the US Mint changed to the use of Arabic numerals.

All of these 1/4 oz Proof American Gold Eagle coins also feature a “P” mint mark on the obverse side. The fractional-weight Proof Gold Eagles were produced by the Philadelphia Mint from their introduction in 1987/1988 until 1992. In 1993, the US Mint combined all Proof Gold Eagle production at the West Point Mint where the 1 oz coin was already struck.

On the obverse of the 1/4 oz Proof American Gold Eagle coin is the iconic image of Liberty that helped transform American coinage. As President Theodore Roosevelt sought to modernize American coinage in the early 20^th century, Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ 1907 design of Liberty for the $20 Gold Double Eagle became the standard by which all future designs of Liberty would be compared.

The reverse face of the 1991 1/4 oz Proof American Gold Eagle features the image of a family of bald eagles in the nest. Created specifically for the Gold Eagle collection in 1986 by Miley Busiek, it depicts a nest full of hatchlings under the watchful eye of a female eagle as a male eagle flies overhead.
