Stunning Silver Eagle Type-1 Design
Obverse: Lady Liberty is portrayed walking on the Obverse, draped in an American flag while carrying long branches of oak and laurel (symbols of strength and victory). Inscribed “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “2021.” This interpretation of Liberty first appeared on the 1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollar designed by acclaimed early 20th century sculptor Adolph A. Weinman.
Reverse: The reverse depicts a heraldic eagle clutching an olive branch and a bundle of arrows. It is inscribed “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “1 OZ. FINE SILVER,” “ONE DOLLAR,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and the West Point Mint mark “W.” The image is the work of sculptor John Mercanti, the 12th U.S. Mint Chief Engraver.
