label: Description
content: The largest denomination authorized by the original coinage act in 1792 was a 10 dollar coin called an Eagle. Struck in 22 karat gold, the coin bore the image of a somewhat scrawny eagle on the reverse. The small eagle did not satisfy post-revolutionary America’s burgeoning national pride, so a more robust heraldic eagle was adopted two years later.
