Gorgeous American Silver Eagle Design
Obverse: The obverse interpretation of Lady Liberty draped in an American flag is borrowed from the historic 1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Ms. Liberty is depicted as a young woman carrying branches of oak and laurel, which symbolize strength, integrity and victory. The timeless rendition of Liberty is the work of acclaimed early 20th-century sculptor Adolph A. Weinman. Inscriptions include “LIBERTY,” “2020,” and “IN GOD WE TRUST.”
Reverse: An eagle is illustrated on the reverse, with an olive branch and a bundle of arrows in its grip. This iconic patriotic image is the primary identifying element of the Type-1 style Silver Eagle that was issued from 1986 until mid-2021. Inscribed “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “1 OZ. FINE SILVER,” “ONE DOLLAR,” the West Point Mint mark “W,” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” The heraldic design was created by 12th U.S. Mint Chief Engraver John Mercanti.
