Patriotic Walking Liberty Design by Adolph Weinman
Obverse: The obverse features the famous Walking Liberty design of Adolph Weinman. The morning sun is starting to rise as Liberty, draped in the American flag, carries laurel and oak branches. Among the obverse inscriptions are the central figure’s name, “LIBERTY,” the national motto, “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the date, “2022.” Adolph Weinman was an immigrant from Germany who played an important role in redesigning American coinage in the early 20th century. The half dollar and Mercury Dime remain his best known contributions.
Reverse: Emily Damstra’s reverse design was sculpted by Michael Gaudioso. The design features an eagle carrying an oak branch as it prepares to land. “E PLURIBUS UNUM” is inscribed just inside the rim inscriptions. Those rim inscriptions note the name of the issuing country, “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” the coin’s face value, “ONE DOLLAR,” and its weight, “1 OZ. FINE SILVER.” Emily Damstra graduated from the University of Michigan with an M.F.A. She has been contributing numismatic designs since 2017.
