American silver eagle coins history
In 1985 The Liberty Coin Act came to pass, which amended Federal laws and led to the creation of the American silver eagle coins. The obverse of the American Silver Eagle was designed in 1916 by Adolf Wiedman. It had previously been used on the Walking Liberty half dollar between 1916 and 1947. The design is stunning and is often considered Americas most beautiful coin design. It represents peace, freedom, independence, and shows Liberty purposefully walking towards the sunrise. She’s carrying an American flag and an olive branch.
The reverse design was created by the 12th chief engraver at the United States Mint, John Mercanti. It features an eagle with wings outstretched and a shield. It also includes a triangle made up of thirteen stars, which represent the founding state of America.
