Striking Designs by Adolph Weinman and John Mercanti

Obverse: The morning sun emerges from beyond the horizon as Liberty, draped in the American flag, carries laurel and oak branches, which represent civilian and military honors. The design, which was created by Adolph Weinman, is known as Walking Liberty and first appeared on the half dollar. Inscriptions on the obverse read, "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "2020." Adolph Weinman was among the most important contributors to America's numismatic renaissance of the early 20th century. His best know contributions were the Mercury dime and the Walking Liberty half dollar. Weinman also sculpted numerous pieces that remain on display in several American cities.

Reverse: John Mercanti created the reverse design specifically for this series. Modeled off of the Great Seal of the United States, it consists of an eagle protecting a union shield under 13 5-pointed stars, which represent the original states. Inscriptions along the rim that combine to encircle the image read, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "1 OZ. FINE SILVER," and "ONE DOLLAR." John Mercanti is the most prolific designer of coins and medals in the history of the US Mint. He spent nearly four decades with the institution, including time as its twelfth Chief Engraver.
