United States Mint gold coin American Eagle 1 oz

The American Eagle is named after a gold coin that was minted in the United States from 1795 until the ban on private gold in 1933 under the name Eagle. In the original version, the motifs of the portrait of the walking goddess Svoboda on the face and the bald eagle on the reverse are still preserved. 11/12 of the weight of a gold coin (corresponding to the purity of 916.67 / 1000 or 22 carats) consists of pure gold weighing 1 troy ounce. The remaining 1/12 contains alloys of copper and silver. This alloy gives the coin (5.33% copper, 3% silver) greater hardness and scratch resistance and gives the coin a red tinge.
