The coins reverse side depicts a male eagle flying towards his nest. Also displayed is the image of a female eagle with her baby in the nest. The American Eagle is renown for its detailed design and bright appearance.
22 karat gold coins like the American Eagle have good scratch resistance because of the copper content. However, one added benefit of the American Eagle is the 3% silver content which give the coin a shinny golden color.
