The Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985, which established the Gold Eagle coin series, mandates the gold in the coins come from US sources. Silver and copper are added to make the coins more durable. The Gold Eagles are struck at the West Point Mint, thus they bear a W mint mark on the obverse.

For the obverse field of the 2000-W 4-Coin Proof American Gold Eagle Set, you will be pleased to find the image of Lady Liberty. This design was created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1907. The French-American engraver had been commissioned by President Roosevelt to create a new design for the collection and he formulated the iconic image of a woman in a flowing gown striding towards a bright future with a burning torch.

For the reverse of the 2000-W 4-Coin Proof American Gold Eagle Set, you will be pleased to find the design of a family of bald eagles. The female head of the family watches over her hatchlings while the father soars overhead in wonderous splendor. This design was created in 1986 by Miley Busiek specifically for these coins.
