The $50 Platinum Eagle is a platinum bullion coin produced by the United States Mint, first issued in 1997. The 2008 edition features a distinctive design, part of the series that showcases varying artistic interpretations of national symbols. Weighing one ounce, the coin is struck in .9995 fine platinum and has a face value of $50, but its market value may be significantly higher due to platinum's precious metal content and numismatic interest. The Platinum Eagles are primarily sought after by collectors and investors for both their metal value and the artistic designs.
