The 2014-W 1/2 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coin was struck in 22 karat gold by the West Point Mint. This coin has been made with a metal combination containing the perfect balance of the following: 91.67% gold, 5.33% copper, and 3% silver. A special proof finish is also included on this coin, which means that the background of each side appears mirror-like, while the designs themselves are frosted in appearance.
The American Gold Eagle Coin series first made its appearance in 1986, but it wasn’t until 1987 that the Philadelphia Mint introduced the 1/2 oz weight denomination for the series. Up until 1993, these fractional weight coins were being produced in Philadelphia; in the years to follow, production of these fractional weight amounts would be transferred to the West Point Mint.
The obverse of the 2014-W 1/2 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coin shows the image of Lady Liberty, which was designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Lady Liberty is seen striding forward, with sun rays highlighting her radiance. In her hands, she holds a torch high in the air, as well as an olive branch. The imagery included on this side of the coin is incredibly patriotic and helps point to the overall values and traditions of the United States.
The reverse of the 2014-W 1/2 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coin shows an eagle family design created by artist Miley Busiek. In the image, a male eagle flies with wings outstretched, carrying an olive branch in its talons as he heads toward the nest. The female eagle and eaglets wait in the nest for his arrival. The reverse also shows different specs about the coin, including its weight, purity, value, and country of origin.
