Obverse

Augustus Saint-Gaudens famous depiction of Lady Liberty is featured on the obverse design of the 2008-W Burnished American Gold Eagle Coin. This portrayal of Liberty shows her holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, walking towards the viewer with rays of sunshine in the background, the U.S. Capitol Building at her feet, and a ring of stars surrounding the field.

Reverse

The reverse design of the 2008-W 1 oz Burnished Gold Eagles showcases Miley Busieks captivating representation of a family of bald eagles. The male eagle soars above the nest with a large branch in its talons as the female eagle guards her hatchlings inside the nest.

History

Burnished Gold Eagles were struck with 1 oz gold and three fractional-ounce weights from 2006 to 2008. In 2009 and 2010, the US Mint did not issue the Burnished American Gold Eagle. In 2011, the series resumed, but only with 1 oz gold coins available to numismatists.
