On the obverse of 2021 American Gold Eagle Type 2 Coins, you will find the historic image of Lady Liberty created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. He was contacted directly by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905 to help the US Mint redesign and modernize all of its circulation coin designs. Saint-Gaudens’ vision of Liberty was ground-breaking in its day with a full-length, front-facing relief of Liberty walking with a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other as rays of sunshine framed her figure from the horizon in the background.

The reverse field of 2021 1/4 oz Gold Eagle Type 2 Coins comes with a new design featuring the American bald eagle. Created by Jennie Norris, this vision of the bald eagle depicts the magnificent bird in left-profile relief with its hooked beak, piercing gaze, and detailed plumage.
