1997 1/2 oz American Platinum Eagle MS-69 PCGS

As a sovereign issue, its weight and purity are fully backed by the United States government. The obverse of the coin features a close-up portrait of the Statue of Liberty looking forward, accompanied by the word Liberty, the year 1997, and the traditional mottos In God We Trust and E Pluribus Unum. On the reverse, an American eagle is depicted in mid-flight with its wings outstretched, soaring across a brilliant sunrise. This side also displays the inscriptions United States of America, the face value of $50, and the metal content of 1/2 oz. 0.9995 Platinum.
