Palladium Ounce - American Eagle, Coin Type from United States - detailed information

The American Palladium Eagle is the official palladium bullion coin of the United States. The coin has a face value of $25 and contains 99.95% fine palladium. It was authorised by the American Eagle Palladium Bullion Coin Act of 2010 which became Public Law 111-303 passed during the 111th United States Congress. The Palladium Eagle uses Adolph Weinman's obverse design of the Mercury Dime with Miss Liberty wearing a winged hat, while its reverse is based on Weinman's design which has been used since 1907 on the American Institute of Architects' (AIA) annual Gold Medal.

A bullion version sold directly to the United States Mint's authorised purchasers was released on 25 September 2017, and a proof version was released on 6 September 2018. The 2019 coin had a reverse proof finish, after which the Mint announced it would alternate the finish in that order in subsequent years. After the first issue - which was struck at Philadelphia, the coins are produced by the U.S. Mint facility at West Point.

The coins are slightly heavier than one ounce, so as to have exactly one troy ounce of palladium content.
