Gorgeous Silver Eagle Imagery
Obverse: Lady Liberty is depicted walking while wrapped in an American flag on the obverse, an image borrowed from the 1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollar designed by renowned sculptor Adolph A. Weinman. Inscribed “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “AW” and “2022.”
Reverse: An eagle is illustrated on the reverse preparing to land, with an oak branch in its grasp. Inscriptions include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “1 OZ. FINE SILVER,” “ONE DOLLAR,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM” and applicable Mint mark. The Type-2 eagle landing image was created by U.S. Mint Artistic Infusion Program artist Emily Damstra.
