The 2023-W $25 Uncirculated American Palladium Eagle, debuting today at noon ET from the United States Mint in a very limited mintage with a correspondingly high price tag, is struck from one ounce of 99.95% palladium.
This uncirculated coin features high relief historical designs that are consistently ranked as favorites among coin collectors. It showcases Adolph A. Weinman’s Winged Liberty image, which was first seen on the obverse (heads side) of the 1916 Mercury dime, as well as his eagle taken from the reverse (tails side) of the 1907 American Institute of Architects Gold Medal.

On the reverse, an eagle is depicted holding a branch in its beak and clasping another with one of its talons. Surrounding the design are inscriptions of "UNITED STATES of AMERICA," "$25," "1 OZ. Pd" (the chemical symbol for palladium), ".9995 FINE," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM."
