The American Palladium Eagle combines two Weinman designs—the Winged Liberty portrait and the 1907 architects' medal eagle—while rotating bullion and collector finishes.

This guide covers the cataloged 2017–2026 one-ounce $25 palladium issues. Finish is a primary identifier because the program changes product format by year.

Historic medallic art enters a new precious metal

Palladium joined the American Eagle family in 2017 with one troy ounce of .9995 fine metal.

The obverse adapts the familiar Winged Liberty dime portrait, while the reverse draws on Weinman's American Institute of Architects gold medal design.

Obverse, reverse, and the details that identify the type

Confirm the major design, date, and mint mark before studying smaller die differences.

The main portrait and date

Winged Liberty faces left with LIBERTY above, IN GOD WE TRUST below, and the date at right.

Denomination, subject, and mint mark

A high-relief eagle grasps a branch on a rock, with weight, fineness, denomination, and national inscriptions.

Where the cataloged coins were made

Totals are calculated from reported issue records in this catalog; unknown figures are not counted as zero.

  • W — West Point: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026; 95,599. W identifies West Point; use the year, product, and finish to separate circulation releases from collector issues.

Representative issues that explain the series
