Featuring Adolph Weinman's Famous Walking Liberty Design
One of the most famous designs in the history of American numismatics, Adolph Weinman's Walking Liberty, features on the obverse. It was revived for Silver Eagles in 1986 after first appearing on half dollars from 1916-1947. The image depicts Liberty striding to the left with branches of laurel and oak in her left hand. The branches symbolize civilian and military honors. Draped in the American flag and wearing a Phrygian cap on her head, she extends her right hand in front of her above the morning sun, as though welcoming the new day. "LIBERTY" is inscribed on the rim at the top, while the national motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST," and the date, "2019," also appear on this face.
Rim inscriptions encircle an adaptation of the Great Seal of the United States on John Mercanti's reverse. The inscriptions read, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "1 OZ. FINE SILVER," and "ONE DOLLAR." The adaptation of the seal shows an eagle guarding a unions shield under thirteen stars. The stars symbolize the original states. In its beak, the bird holds a ribbon with the inscription "E PLURIBUS UNUM" (From many, one). In its talons are arrows, symbols of America's military readiness, and an olive branch, which indicates a desire for peace.
