America’s Gold Eagle program was launched in 1986, the same year as its counterpart, the American Silver Eagle. Although the bullion coin was struck in all four weights (1 oz, ½ oz, ¼ oz, and 1/10 oz) in 1986, the 1oz Proof American Gold Eagle was the only weight struck in the proof mintage that year. That makes the 1oz coin the longest-running mintage in the proof series. The ½ oz proof coin was added in 1987, with the ¼ oz and 1/10 oz coins added in 1988.

Since 1988, proof American Gold Eagles have been struck in all four weights each year except 2009 when no proof coins were struck. Although the 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle was the first coin struck in the proof series, it often has the lowest mintage of any of the four weights. Some 446,290 1 oz proofs were struck in 1986, but that number had dropped to 87, 133 by 1988. As of 2013, roughly 24,710 1 oz proofs were struck.

On the obverse side of the American Gold Eagle is a modern reproduction of Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ Gold Double Eagle design. The reverse side features Miley Busiek’s depiction of a family of bald eagles, with a male returning to the female and hatchlings in the nest.
