The U.S. Mint made history in 1986 with the launch of the American Eagle program, beginning with gold and silver editions. Over the decades, the program expanded to include platinum and, most recently, palladium.
The Palladium American Eagle was authorized by Congress on December 14, 2010, under the American Eagle Palladium Bullion Coin Act of 2010. This law amended Title 31 of the U.S. Code to authorize a $25 coin, struck from 1 troy ounce of .9995 fine palladium.
From Authorization to Release
Unique Alternating Finishes
Unlike other American Eagle series, the Palladium Eagle is distinguished by changing finishes each year. The law mandates that each new Proof or Uncirculated version feature a materially different surface treatment from the year before.
This rotation makes the Palladium Eagle one of the most dynamic and collectible U.S. Mint programs.

The Palladium American Eagle is unique among the U.S. Mint's American Eagle series because it features the same designs every year, both created by the famed early 20th-century sculptor and medallic artist Adolph A. Weinman. Each side is struck in high relief, faithfully replicating classic works of American coinage and medallic art.

Investment Appeal
Unlike bullion, which is tied directly to commodity prices, investment-grade Palladium Eagles derive their value from relative rarity, condition, and collector demand. Their prices behave less like a commodity and more like fine art or collectible automobiles, where scarcity, craftsmanship, and desirability determine long-term worth.
This unique blend of artistry, scarcity, and certified perfection makes the Palladium American Eagle one of the most compelling modern coins for serious collectors and investors alike.
