Patriotic Landing Eagle Design by Emily Damstra
Obverse: The iconic Walking Liberty design of Adolph Weinman retains its place on the obverse. Liberty wears a Phrygian cap and is draped in the American flag as she carries branches in the early morning sun. Her name, "LIBERTY," joins "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "2021" among the obverse inscriptions. Adolph Weinman designed two of the most recognizable coins in American history, the Walking Liberty Half Dollar and the Mercury Dime. He was also a prominent sculptor whose work is still displayed in various American cities.
Reverse: A new Landing Eagle design by Emily Damstra graces the reverse. The bird carries an oak branch in its talons. The name of the issuing country, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," the coin's face value, "ONE DOLLAR," and its metal content, "1 OZ. FINE SILVER," are inscribed along the rim. Also included on this face is the statutory motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM."
