The remaining 1,42 grams consist of silver and copper, which gives the coin a lighter color.

Design of the golden 1/2 American Eagle
On the front of the golden 1/2 American Eagle you can see the rework of Augustus Saint-Gaudens' Lady Liberty, also known as the original $ 20 Saint-Gaudens coins. Lady Liberty is the United States personification and is depicted with waving hairs, a torch in the right and an olive branch in the left hand.
Behind her, the sun rises above the Capitol, as a symbol of the strong American economy and the dawn of the era of the new financial superpower. To the right of Lady Liberty you see the year of issue of the coin, which was expressed in Roman numerals from 1986 to 1991, and something below the initials of August Saint-Gaudens. The 51 stars around the coin represent the 50 states of the United States + the federal district of Washington D.C.
On the backside is a design of Miley Busiek .; A flying male eagle with an olive branch in the claws above a nest containing a female eagle and her young. Additionally, at the top of the coin 'United States Of America' you see the United States old motto: 'E Pluribus Unum'. Underneath the motto, the nominal value, the weight, the purity content are displayed together with the motto "In God we trust".
