Obverse: The obverse depicts Lady Liberty wrapped in the American flag, walking towards the rising sun carrying branches of oak and laurel. The inscription “LIBERTY” curves above, with “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “2021” below. The image is borrowed from the 1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollar designed by renowned sculptor Adolph A. Weinman.
Reverse: Centered on the reverse is a heraldic eagle grasping an olive branch and a cluster of arrows. Inscriptions include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “1 OZ. FINE SILVER,” “ONE DOLLAR,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “W.”
