The First Amendment’s protection of free speech is a key part of American democracy, giving people the right to express themselves without interference from the government. In 2021, the US Mint introduced a special series of Proof Platinum Eagles that highlight different parts of the First Amendment.

Each 2022-W 1 oz Proof American Platinum Eagle Coin offered here is certified in PF70 condition. This grade means the coin has its full original mint luster and no visible flaws. The ultra-cameo (UCAM) finish gives the coin a sharp contrast between frosted designs and reflective backgrounds. As an Advanced Release, this coin was purchased before the Mint officially listed it for public sale.

Between 2021 and 2025, the US Mint is releasing a five-coin series of Proof Platinum Eagles focused on the First Amendment. Each year’s coin highlights a different right: Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press, the Right to Assemble, and the Right to Petition.

The 2022-W coin’s obverse shows a young oak tree, a symbol of Liberty’s growth through the freedom of speech. This design represents the idea that open discussion and the sharing of opinions help shape a strong, working democracy by encouraging debate and allowing for different points of view.

On the reverse, you’ll find a classic image of the American bald eagle. The eagle is seen in profile with its wings extended forward and an olive branch in its talons, a familiar symbol of strength and peace.
