The 2026 1/10 oz Gold American Eagle coin offers investors an accessible entry point into physical gold ownership while maintaining the prestige and global recognition of United States Mint bullion. Since its introduction in 1986, the American Gold Eagle series has been one of the most widely traded gold bullion programs in the world.
Containing 1/10 troy ounce of gold, this fractional denomination allows investors to accumulate gold gradually while benefiting from the same iconic design and government backing as larger Gold American Eagle coins.
About the 2026 1/10 oz Gold American Eagle Coin
The 2026 edition marks the 40th anniversary of the American Gold Eagle bullion series, first authorized by Congress and released beginning in 1986.
The coin carries a $5 face value backed by the United States government and contains one-tenth troy ounce of pure gold within a durable 22-karat alloy composed of 91.67% gold, 5.33% copper, and 3% silver.
This alloy enhances durability and makes the American Gold Eagle more resistant to wear compared with many pure gold bullion coins.
Iconic Lady Liberty Obverse Design
The obverse of the 2026 Gold American Eagle features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ celebrated Lady Liberty design, one of the most admired designs in American coin history.
Liberty strides forward carrying a torch and olive branch as rays of sunlight appear behind her and the Capitol Building is visible in the background. Design enhancements introduced in 2021 restored elements of Saint-Gaudens’ original artistic vision.
Modern Bald Eagle Reverse Design
The reverse features the modern American bald eagle portrait designed by Jennie Norris and introduced in 2021.
Inscriptions on the reverse include:
- UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
- E PLURIBUS UNUM
- IN GOD WE TRUST
- 5 DOLLARS
- 1/10 OZ. FINE GOLD
- The initials JN and RG appear on the reverse recognizing the artists who created the design.
