Elegant Beauty of the American Silver Eagle

Obverse: The obverse is graced with the time-honored rendition of Lady Liberty walking, carrying an oak and laurel bouquet, while dramatically enveloped in the flag of the United States. Surrounding inscriptions include "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," "2022" and the artist's "AW" monogram. This breathtaking allegorical image of Liberty was originally designed for the 1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollar by award-winning early 20th century sculptor Adolph A. Weinman.

Reverse: A majestic eagle with its wings lifted to slow its descent is depicted on the reverse. Inscribed "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "1 OZ. FINE SILVER," "ONE DOLLAR," the "W" Mint mark and "E PLURIBUS UNUM." The Type-2 eagle landing design is credited to Emily Damstra, a U.S. Mint Artistic Infusion Program member since 2014. The gorgeously detailed image was transformed into a three-dimensional numismatic masterpiece by Michael Gaudioso, a U.S. Mint sculptor since 2009.
