On the obverse, a timeless rendition of the classic Saint-Gaudens double eagle motif takes center stage. Lady Liberty stands resplendent atop a hill, her figure adorned with an olive branch in one hand and a torch ablaze in the other. The iconic U.S. Capitol looms in the distance, bathed in radiant light emanating from the horizon. Fifty stars encircle the outer rim, symbolizing the unity of the nation. Positioned to the right of Lady Liberty, the date is prominently displayed, while the word "LIBERTY" adorns the top rim. The reeded edge design adds a touch of elegance to the coin's profile.

Turning to the reverse, a heartwarming depiction of a family of bald eagles graces the coin, a creation of artist Miley Busiek. The patriarch eagle returns to the family nest, bearing an olive branch, while the maternal eagle tenderly shelters two eaglets beneath her wing. Inscriptions of the mottoes "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and "IN GOD WE TRUST" adorn the left and right sides, respectively, while the bold lettering of "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" spans the top rim. At the bottom rim, the weight and denomination are proudly displayed, reading "1/2 OZ. FINE GOLD~25 DOLLARS."
