Featuring John Mercanti's Patriotic Reverse Design for the Final Time

Obverse: Adolph Weinman's historic Walking Liberty design features on the obverse. Liberty is draped in the American flag as she carries laurel and oak branches in her left arm while extending her right arm forward, as if greeting the new day. Inscriptions on this face include her name, "LIBERTY," the national motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST," and the date, "2021." Adolph Weinman is best known for two of his contributions to early 20th century numismatics, the Mercury Dime and the Walking Liberty Half Dollar. He was also a prominent sculptor, and his work can still be seen in numerous American cities.

Reverse: For the last time, the reverse bears an adaptation of the Great Seal of the United States by John Mercanti. Thirteen stars represent the country's first states at the top, while an eagle protects a union shield below. The name of the issuing country, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," the coin's weight, "1 OZ. FINE SILVER," and its face value, "ONE DOLLAR," are inscribed along the rim. The US Mint enjoyed the services of John Mercanti for nearly 40 years, part of which time he spent as its Chief Engraver. Nobody in the institution's long history has designed more medals and coins than he has.
