The 2022 American Eagle One Ounce Palladium Reverse Proof Coin is a unique collectible. Each coin contains one ounce of .9995 palladium. Like their proof counterparts, reverse proof coins are specially produced from highly polished planchets and dies and often struck more than once to accent the design. They receive the highest quality strike possible and can be distinguished by their mirror-like foreground (design elements) and frosted background, “reversing” the traditional proof finish. This coin’s finish cycles between reverse proof, proof, or uncirculated versions each year.

The obverse (heads) of this design features a high-relief likeness of “Winged Liberty” from the “Mercury Dime” obverse designed by world-renowned designer Adolph A. Weinman. In keeping with the original coin design, inscriptions are “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “2022,” and Weinman’s distinct initials as an artist mark.

The reverse (tails) design features a high-relief version of the 1907 American Institute of Architects Gold Medal reverse, also by Weinman, which includes an eagle and a branch. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES of AMERICA,” “$25,” “1 OZ. Pd” (the chemical symbol for palladium), “.9995 FINE,” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”

Each coin is encapsulated and packaged in a black box. It is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
