The 2003 Platinum Eagle is part of the United States Mint's series of platinum bullion coins, which were first introduced in 1997. The 10 Dollar denomination features a design that honors the themes of American democracy and achievements, with varying motifs each year. The 2003 release included a reverse design depicting the American eagle. Platinum Eagles are recognized for their purity, containing one troy ounce of 99.95% platinum. These coins are popular among both investors and collectors due to their limited mintage and investment appeal.
