The American Gold Eagle coin has always been the most popular gold bullion coin produced by the US Mint Authority. With the first release of the prestigious series, it garnered global acclaim and high demand from the majority of the American population and a worldwide audience of investors and collectors. The US Mint captured all of this praise and elegance in one glorious collection featuring four distinct fractional weights. These include the 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz. Each of them is marked with the W Mint Mark from the West Point Mint!

For the obverse field of the 1997-W 4-Coin Proof American Gold Eagle Set, all of the coins feature the image of Lady Liberty. This design was curated by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1907. The French-American sculptor had been commissioned by President Theodore Roosevelt to sculpt a new design for American gold coinage. He ended up coming up with the depiction of Liberty striding confidently forward into an unknown future with a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other. The torch represents a beacon of hope and guidance while the olive branch is America’s offering of peace and friendship with others.

For the reverse field of the 1997-W 4-Coin Proof American Gold Eagle Set, all of the coins are engraved with the family of American bald eagles. They are featured in their nest while the female bald eagle keeps an eye on her young hatchlings. Overhead, her male counterpart guards all of them fiercely. This iconic depiction of American Eagles was forged in 1986 by Miley Busiek.
