Design: The obverse of the coin features a rendition of Lady Liberty designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, which first appeared on the $20 gold piece in 1907. Liberty is depicted holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, symbolizing enlightenment and peace, respectively. The Capitol building is visible in the background. The reverse, designed by sculptor Miley Busiek, showcases a male bald eagle carrying an olive branch to a nest with a female eagle and their hatchlings, representing family tradition and unity. The edges are reeded.

Minting and Packaging: Minted at the West Point Mint, each coin bears the "W" mint mark on the reverse, denoting its place of origin. The proof quality of the coin is highlighted by its mirror-like finish, achieved through a meticulous minting process involving multiple strikes from specially polished dies. Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a satin-lined, velvet-covered presentation case, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (COA).

Collectibility and Value: The limited mintage and proof quality of the 2016 Proof Gold American Eagle contribute to its desirability among collectors. The coin's value is influenced by factors such as its condition, rarity, and the current market demand for gold. As part of a series celebrated for its beauty and craftsmanship, the 2016 edition is a distinguished addition to any collection.
