1986 1/2 oz American Gold Eagle BU (MCMLXXXVI)
In 1986, the United States introduced a new era of bullion with the debut of the American Gold Eagle series. This half-ounce gold coin represents the very first year of the historic program, making it a particularly compelling piece for those who appreciate the evolution of modern American coinage. The obverse of the coin showcases a classic representation of Liberty, holding a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other as she strides forward. This side bears the word LIBERTY and the date rendered in traditional Roman numerals as MCMLXXXVI, a distinctive design choice utilized during the initial years of the series.
