Description

The 2006 1 oz Reverse Proof Gold Eagle $50 is an American Gold Eagle containing 1.000 troy ounce of fine gold. American Gold Eagles are struck in a 22-karat alloy—91.67% gold, 3% silver, and balance copper—while the U.S. government guarantees the stated fine-gold content.

The obverse adapts Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ full-length Liberty design from the classic double eagle, while this issue uses the original family-of-eagles reverse used from 1986 through the first portion of 2021. This example is identified as reverse proof. The 2006 Reverse Proof was created for the program’s 20th anniversary and is a major special-finish issue in the series.
