All denominations of the proof American Platinum Eagles carry a yearly design.
Since 1998, each design aside from the 2017 reverse commemorating the 20th anniversary of the program, has been part of a themed series:
1998–2002: The Vistas of Liberty series featured reverse designs depicting a bald eagle in a different landscape of the United States, in a different region of the country.

2006–2008: The Foundations of Democracy series featured reverse designs representing the three branches of government.

2009–2014: The Preamble to the Constitution series explored the core concepts of American democracy by highlighting the Preamble to the United States Constitution.
The themes for the reverse designs for this program are inspired by narratives prepared by Chief Justice of the United States, John Roberts, at the request of the United States Mint.

2015–2016: The Torches of Liberty series featured reverse designs from the Artistic Infusion Program which represent the "nation's core values of liberty and freedom".

2018–2020: The Preamble to the Declaration of Independence series features obverse designs portraying Lady Liberty and handwritten single-word inscriptions from the Declaration of Independence in addition to a new common reverse design.
It is the first series to vary obverse designs, all created concurrently by the same designer, rather than reverse designs.
