American Eagle Platinum Coins made their debut in 1997 with options for 1 oz and three fractional-ounce coins, both in BU and Proof collections. However, in 2009, the production of all BU coins was halted, and the fractional-ounce Proof coins were discontinued. Since then, the 1 oz Proof Platinum Eagle has been consistently produced.

Obverse

The obverse design of the 2023-W Proof Eagle 1 oz Platinum Coin features acorns growing on a mature oak tree, symbolizing the fruits of Liberty associated with freedom of the press. The First Amendment safeguards freedom of the press, enabling journalists and media outlets to report news and information without government interference or censorship, a vital cornerstone of a free and independent press. The inscriptions on this side read WITH FREEDOM OF THE PRESS, LIBERTY BEARS FRUIT, E PLURIBUS UNUM, IN GOD WE TRUST, and 2023.

Reverse

On the reverse side of the 2023-W Proof American Eagle Platinum Coin, you’ll find the iconic American bald eagle. This design is consistent across the entire First Amendment Series, depicting an eagle in flight with an olive branch in its talons. Inscriptions include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, $100, 1 OZ., .9995 PLATINUM, and the W mint mark.

History

Proof American Eagle Platinum Coins introduce new designs on one side of the coin each year, often forming design mini-series. The current series, known as the First Amendment Series, focuses on the five core principles of the First Amendment: Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Press, Right to Peaceful Assembly, and Right to Petition.
