The US Mint is revamping the reverse images of the bald eagle featured on both the American Silver Eagle and all four? American Gold Eagles in 2021. However, you will notice the 2021 release cycle has a Type 1 and Type 2 option. New dies to be used in the coining process were not ready in late 2020 when the US Mint began striking 2021-dated coins. As a result, the mint issued the original design combinations for both programs under the moniker Type 1, with the midyear shift to the new reverse designs earning a distinction of Type 2 to help separate the 2021-dated coins by the design combinations featured.

Lady Liberty remains on the obverse of 2021 American Gold Eagle Coins. This design from Augustus Saint-Gaudens was created in 1907 and originally featured on the Double Eagle, Americas highest denomination coin from the US Eagle circulation series. The design remained on that coin until 1933 when gold coining halted in the US.

A new American bald eagle features in the reverse of 2021 1 oz Gold Eagle Type 2 Coins. This depiction of the bird captures its real-life beauty as the individual feathers of its head are visible in great detail, along with the powerful hook in its beak that it uses to devour its prey. The new design comes from Jennie Norris, a member of the US Mint Artistic Infusion Program. This is her first major contribution to the United States Mint.
