The year 1988 marks the third release of the Proof American Gold Eagle coin collection which was first introduced to a global audience in 1986. The coins are struck in a composition of 22 Karat gold which indicates that it is made up of 91.67% gold, 5.33% copper, and 3% silver. This has contributed to its high value, encouraging the US Mint to offer a full range of fractional gold bullion coins including 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz sizes.

Obverse

On the obverse field of the 1988-W Proof American Eagle 1 oz Gold Coin, you will be treated to the iconic image of Lady Liberty. This design was forged by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, a French-American engraver who was commissioned by President Roosevelt to bring something new and exciting in 1907. The image features a gorgeous woman walking forward in a lovely gown. She holds up a burning torch in one of her hands, high to the sky. The capital of Washington is found in the backdrop of the image.

Reverse

For the reverse field of the 1988-W Proof American Eagle 1 oz Gold Coin, you will be treated to the visionary image forged by Miley Busiek. It features a family of American eagles. The female bald eagle keeps a keen eye over her nest of hatchlings while right above their heads, the fierce father protects his family from danger or harm. This symbolizes protection and patriotism.
