Historical Background of the American Silver Eagle
The American Silver Eagle series, authorized by Congress in 1985 and first minted in 1986, quickly became the flagship silver bullion coin of the United States. Its obverse features Adolph A. Weinman’s celebrated “Walking Liberty” design, originally seen on the half-dollar coins from 1916 to 1947. This enduring image symbolizes liberty and hope, making it one of the most beloved designs in U.S. numismatic history. The reverse, designed by John Mercanti, showcases a majestic heraldic eagle with a shield, holding an olive branch and arrows, embodying strength and peace.
