CoinPlatinum Ounce 2018 American Eagle, Proof

The American Platinum Eagle is the official platinum bullion coin of the United States. The coins were initially released by the United States Mint in several sizes and denominations, but in late 2008 the fractional denominations were discontinued, leaving only the one ounce. The Platinum Eagle is authorised by the United States Congress, and is backed by the United States Mint for weight, content, and purity. The Platinum Ounce is denominated with a face value of $100, but the intrinsic value of the metal is significantly higher.

After the first year of issue, there are two versions of the coin issued annually: bullion with the "definitive" soaring eagle reverse, and a proof with a different design every year.

This coin is the first release in the three-year “Preamble to the Declaration of Independence Platinum Proof Coin Series”.

This marks the first time the United States Mint has issued a series featuring all new obverse designs created concurrently by one designer, as well as a new common reverse design.

The obverse designs portray Lady Liberty planting seeds for future sustenance, lighting the way westward, and harvesting the well-worked crops. The inscriptions “Life” in 2018, “Liberty” in 2019, and “Happiness” in 2020 are likenesses of the handwritten words from the Declaration of Independence.

The obverse design features “Life” personified by Lady Liberty teaching a small child to sow seeds in a field. She supports the child in her right hand, while in her left hand she holds some seeds. The sword she carries on her belt symbolises the power to defend life. The furrowed earth in the background represents the forethought and labour required to sustain life. The tree and stream represent nature, suggesting the need to be good stewards of an environment that sustains life.

The designer's initials JK (for Justin Kunz) are in the field below left; the sculptor's initials PH (for Phebe Hemphill) are in the field below right.

Around above, the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM; translated from Latin, it means "Out of many, one" and signifies unity in diversity.

Around below, the inscription LIBERTY.

In the left field, the date of issue: 2018. In the right field, a handwritten inscription Life, below which on two lines the national motto IN GOD WE TRUST.

The reverse design depicts an eagle in flight with an olive branch in its talons, as a symbol of peace.

The designer's initials PLM (for Patricia Lucas-Morris) are in small letters below left, below the olive branch; the sculptor's initials DE, for Donald (Don) Everhart are below the eagle and on the right. The W mint mark of the West Point Mint is on the right near the rim.

Around above, the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

The face value $100 (one hundred U.S. dollars) is above the eagle.

Below right, 1 oz. (one troy ounce); around below left, the precious metal content .9995 PLATINUM (99.95% platinum).
