Obverse

The obverse of the 1993-W Proof American Gold Eagle features the familiar image of Lady Liberty. Created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1907, this design shows Liberty walking forward with the sun rising behind her. She holds a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other, with the U.S. Capitol in the background.

Reverse

On the reverse of the 1993-W 1 oz Proof Gold Eagle, youll see a bald eagle family. Designed by Miley Busiek, the image includes a male eagle soaring above the nest while the female tends to a young eaglet.

History

The 1993 Proof Gold Eagle stands out as a unique release. That year saw the lowest mintage to date for the 1 oz version, with just 34,369 coins made. It also marked the final time the U.S. Mint used different facilities to strike the 1 oz and fractional Proof Gold Eagles. From 1986 to 1993, the 1 oz version was minted at West Point, while the fractional coins came from the Philadelphia Mint. All four sizes were struck at West Point starting in 1994.
