Notable American Designs
Obverse: Adolph Weinman designed this taking Walking Liberty image used on the obverse of the American Silver Eagle. Liberty is shown in full length as she holds the U.S. flag, and symbols of Strength and Prosperity. The newly revised reverse design reinstates Weinman’s initials, as originally intended.
Reverse: The reverse features a dynamic image from wildlife artist and coin designer Emily Damstra. The image is a Bald Eagle about to land, clasping a branch in its talons.
