The American Palladium Eagle was introduced by the United States Mint in 2017. The 1 oz palladium coins are issued with just one version available for each date, unlike the coins of the Gold Eagle and Silver Eagle that are struck in BU, Proof, and Burnished each year. The first Palladium Eagle in 2017 was a BU specimen, followed by Proof, Reverse Proof, and Burnished options in consecutive years. In 2021, the US Mint returns to the proof version of the coin.

Coin Highlights:
• Available to you inside a capsule and a case with an outer sleeve and Certificate of Authenticity.
• Random date based on availability.
• Eligible for Precious Metals IRA.
• Low yearly mintage.
• Contains 1 Troy oz of .9995 pure palladium.
• The face value of $25 (USD) is fully backed by the US government.
• Obverse: A young depiction of Liberty with a winged Phrygian cap, reminiscent of the Roman god Mercury. Adapted from Adolph Weinman's classic design first used on the Mercury Dime in 1916.
• Reverse: A majestic eagle perched atop a rock along with the weight, purity, and $25 face value. This design, also created by Adolph Weinman, has been used since 1907 at the American Institute of Architects' annual Gold medal.

It took the United States Mint seven years to take the Palladium Eagle from a concept authorized by Congress to a bullion coin that was in production for investors and collectors. As mentioned above, the four previous issues of the coin offered one version each year and covered all the popular finishes the US Mint offers on bullion coins. The 2021 release marks the first time the series has repeated a version in the Palladium Eagle Series.

Varied dates based on availability. All of the Proof American Palladium Eagle Coins are available to you in US Mint packaging. The coins are directly set in capsules and housed in a case that has a satin lining on the interior. The coin and case are packaged in a US Mint outer sleeve and come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

As an example: On the obverse of 2021 Proof American Palladium Eagles is the famous image of Liberty from the Mercury Dime. Created in 1916 by Adolph A. Weinman, the effigy of Liberty is set in left-profile relief and she wears a winged Phrygian cap. The image was famously compared to depictions of the Roman messenger god Mercury, giving rise to the popular use of the term Mercury Dime by Americans in the early 20th century.

The reverse side of 2021 1 oz Proof Palladium Eagles also features a design from Weinman. However, this design was created nearly a decade earlier in 1907, and featured on the American Institute of Architects medal design for the year. The image shows the bald eagle clutching a small sapling in its talons.
