We can think of no official legal tender bullion coin design on the world stage that inspires a respect for liberty and freedom like that of the American Eagle. Whether your choice is the Gold, Silver, Platinum or Palladium edition, that deep inspiration follows each. The United States Mint introduced Platinum Eagles in 1997. This 2022 1oz American Platinum Eagle BU carries on the strong legacy of this fine platinum Eagle edition.
The obverse of this striking 2022 1oz American Platinum Eagle BU features a remarkably fine design that was inspired by the Statue of Liberty. The designer was John Mercanti, the 12th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, retired. His artistic instincts came into clear focus as he studied Liberty's face. His design is referenced, "Liberty Looking to the Future." Liberty looks out over the Atlantic Ocean with a resolute, unflinching expression. She stands as a testimony of our nation's foundation - Liberty and Freedom. Her face and crown fills the field, with the inscription, "LIBERTY" encircling the top rim. At the right rim is displayed the release year and the indelible phrase, "IN GOD WE TRUST." At the lower left is inscribed, "E Pluribus Unum," (Out of Many, One). The designer's initials are at the left.
The reverse displays a stunningly detailed soaring eagle, with the rising sun in the background. Inscriptions include, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA . 999.5 PLATINUM . 1 OZ." The legal tender denomination of $100 is displayed at the bottom rim, along with the designer's initials, "TDR", Thomas D. Rogers, Sr. is a former sculptor-engraver with the United States Mint and designer of several U.S. coins.
