Featuring Adolph Weinman’s Classic Walking Liberty Design
Obverse: Adolph Weinman’s Walking Liberty design returns to the obverse. The morning sun begins to rise over mountains as Liberty carries laurel and oak branches with an American flag draped over her. Obverse inscriptions read, “LIBERTY,” “2022,” and “IN GOD WE TRUST.” Adolph Weinman made two of the most important contributions to America’s early 20th century numismatic renaissance, the Walking Liberty Half Dollar and the Mercury Dime. He also sculpted numerous works.
Reverse: Emily Damstra’s finely detailed Landing Eagle design graces the reverse. The name of the issuing country, “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” the coin’s face value, “ONE DOLLAR,” and its metal content, “1 OZ. FINE SILVER,” are inscribed along the rim. Just inside those inscriptions is the statutory motto “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” Emily Damstra earned her MFA at the University of Michigan. She has contributed designs to commemorative coins and two quarters programs.
