This uncirculated $5 gold coin obverse features two young eaglets resting on a branch in their natural habitat. The reverse depicts an image of the current Great Seal of the United States as engraved in 1903.
America’s strength, freedom, and democracy are all symbolized in the image of a Bald Eagle soaring through our spacious skies. The Bald Eagle’s proud bearing has adorned the Great Seal of the United States since 1782, representing to the world the American values of courage, spirit, and equality.
This national treasure came perilously close to extinction. But years of legal protection, hard work, and vigilance have joined to ensure its survival. Once a rare sight, the Bald Eagle population is now so robust that it no longer needs the protection of the Endangered Species Act, though other protections are still in place.
The Bald Eagle $5 Gold Coin is limited to a total of 100,000 coins (across all product options).
