In 2026, the American Gold Eagle celebrates its 40th anniversary, highlighting four decades of one of the United States Mints most trusted gold bullion coins. The series began in 1986 and quickly earned a strong reputation among buyers who wanted a U.S.-issued gold coin with enduring designs. Since its debut, the Gold Eagle has been offered in four sizes: a 1 oz coin and three fractional options. The 1/10 oz version has remained the top choice within the fractional lineup, especially for those who prefer smaller denominations for flexibility. Each coin contains 22-karat gold with a purity of 91.67%. BGASC currently has 2026 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle Coins available in certified condition.

Obverse

The obverse of the 2026 American Gold Eagle showcases Lady Liberty in Augustus Saint-Gaudens celebrated 1907 artwork. Liberty is shown moving forward toward the viewer, holding a torch in her right hand while carrying an olive branch in her left. Behind her, the U.S. Capitol Building appears with sunrays spreading upward and stars circling the outer rim.

Reverse

On the reverse of the 2026 1/10 oz Gold Eagle is the modern bald eagle design introduced in 2021. The portrait, created by Jennie Norris, shows the eagles head in left-profile relief, delivering a strong and detailed image that stands out on the smaller format.

History

The 1/10 oz Gold Eagle received a notable update in 2021 when the Mint introduced a new reverse by Jennie Norris. This refreshed design focuses on a close-up bald eagle portrait, offering a sharper modern style and improved security features. Even with this change, the Mint chose to keep the cherished Saint-Gaudens obverse, maintaining the coins connection to its classic roots.
