American Palladium Eagle Background
The American Palladium Eagle was mandated under the American Eagle Palladium Bullion Coin Act of 2010. This was passed during the 111th United States Congress and eventually signed by President Barack Obama. However, it wasn’t until 2017 that the first coin in this series was struck.
The design differs between the American Silver Eagle, Gold Eagle, and Platinum Eagle. The American Palladium Eagle is no different.
The obverse of these coins shows the iconic Winged Liberty, designed by Adolph A. Weinman in 1916. This design was originally featured on the Mercury Dime. Liberty is wearing a Phrygian cap surrounded by identifying marks of the coin. The reverse showcases another design by Weinman. This design was created in 1907 for the American Institute of Architects Medal. A bald eagle is perched on a cliff, clutching a sapling in its beak and talons. Identifying marks of the coin frame the design.
Each coin contains 1 Troy oz of .9995 pure palladium.
Variations of the American Palladium Eagle
The release cycle of the American Palladium Eagle is easily the most unique of all the American Eagles. While American Palladium Eagles are issued annually, they’re issued in a new strike every year.
