Design
Originally, the design used for the $5 American Eagle coin was the same as that used for the original $20 gold coin that ceased production in 1933; the design is by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and even though similar to the original $20 gold piece, the United States mint nonetheless decided to use it for its new American Gold Eagle coin, on the reverse. (the older version was minted between 1907 and 1933.)
Now the $5 gold eagles resemble the older $20 gold coin. On the front, Lady Liberty stands with a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left hand, with the Capitol in full view behind her to the left. On the back, a bald eagle carries an olive branch in its mouth and flies above a nest with a female eagle and “little eagles” therein.
Many people know about the statue of liberty but not so much about the eagle.
The eagle is the US national emblem since 1782. It was chosen to represent America in part because it was thought to exist only on the North American continent. And it represents freedom. There’s also a popular story that circulates which says that when one of the first battles of the Revolution broke out, the sounds of the fighting woke up the eagles that slept in the heights overhead, and they circled the fighting men, raucously crying all the time. The revolutionaries said “They are shrieking for freedom.”
Because of this, the eagle remains a prominent symbol of America, its freedoms, and all they stand for.
There is more information about the 5 dollar coin such as its purity and face value. These coins are mined from gold in the US.
These coins are also legal tender.
The $5 eagle can indeed be spent as a $5 coin. However, given that its real value is significantly higher based upon market specifications, most people no longer use this coin as legal tender. Keep this coin in your collection!
