Patriotic Walking Liberty Design by Adolph Weinman

Obverse: Adolph Weinman's famous Walking Liberty design, which first appeared on the half dollar, features on the obverse. Draped in the American flag, Liberty wears a Phrygian cap that identifies her as a freed slave. She carries laurel and oak branches, symbols of civilian and military honors, respectively, in her left arm while extending her right arm ahead of her. Her name, "LIBERTY," is inscribed on the obverse, as are the national motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST," and the date, "2002." Adolph Weinman was a German-born American sculptor. In addition to designing coins, such as the Mercury dime and Walking Liberty half dollar, he also created famous sculptures, including one on the Jefferson Memorial's pediment,

Reverse: An eagle protects a union shield on the reverse. Above its head are thirteen stars, symbols of the original states.
