Featuring the Exquisite Walking Liberty Design of Adolph Weinman
Obverse: The obverse design comes from Adolph Weinman's historic Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Liberty is draped in the American flag as she carries branches while the morning sun emerges from beyond the horizon. "LIBERTY" is inscribed along the top half of the rim, while other obverse inscriptions read, "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "2021." Adolph Weinman designed two of the best known coins in American history, the Walking Liberty Half Dollar and the Mercury Dime. He also created numerous sculptures, some of which can be seen displayed prominently in cities across the United States.
Reverse: On the reverse for the final time is an adaptation of the Great Seal of the United States that was designed by John Mercanti. An eagle spreads its wings while protecting a union shield under thirteen stars, which represent the original states. The image is encircled by three rim inscriptions, which 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 served as the institution's twelfth Chief Engraver for part of his nearly four decades with it.
