The American Eagle Coin program will celebrate its 35th anniversary in 2021, and new designs will appear on these coins by the middle of the year. The new Silver design was conceived by AIP Designer Emily Damstra and sculpted by artist Michael Gaudioso. The updated design shows a lone eagle making a landing while carrying an oak branch that appears to be for a nest.
