Palladium Eagles have been available since 2017, with the US Mint issuing one version of the coin each year to date. The release follows a pattern of BU or Burnished, Proof, and then Reverse Proof. For example, 2017’s debut offered a BU version of the coin, followed by Proof in 2018 and Reverse Proof in 2019. The first Burnished Palladium Eagle was issued in 2020, followed by Proof again in 2021 and a Reverse Proof again last year in 2022.
On the obverse of 2023-W Burnished American Palladium Eagles, you will find Adolph A. Weinman’s iconic Winged Liberty bust. More commonly known as the Mercury Head, this bust of Liberty includes a winged Phrygian cap on her head that many Americans in 1916 believed gave Liberty the appearance of the Roman messenger god, Mercury.
The reverse side of 2023-W 1 oz Burnished Palladium Eagle Coins comes with another design from Weinman. This design is not from a US coin, but rather, from the 1907 American Institute of Architects Gold Medal release. It depicts an eagle in left-profile relief on a cliff edge with a small sapling in its talons.
