Featuring Adolph Weinman's Historic Walking Liberty Design

Obverse: The Walking Liberty design of Adolph Weinman, which first appeared on the Half Dollar of the same name, features on the obverse. Liberty extends her right hand to greet the new day while carrying branches in her left arm as the morning sun begins to rise. "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "2021" are inscribed on this face. Adolph Weinman designed the Mercury Dime and the Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Besides his numismatic contributions, he sculpted many works, some of which can still be seen in cities across America.

Reverse: John Mercanti's Heraldic Eagle design, which he based on the Great Seal of the United States, serves as the reverse design. Thirteen stars represent the original states above an eagle, which protects a union shield. Inscriptions along the rim offer the name of the issuing country, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," the coin's metal content, "1 OZ. FINE SILVER," and its face value, "ONE DOLLAR." John Mercanti is the most prolific coin and medal designer in the history of the U.S. Mint. He served as the institution's Chief Engraver for part of his nearly four decades with it.
