A Legacy of American Design

Renowned for its grace and symbolic representation of Liberty striding toward a new dawn, this powerful image later became synonymous with the American Silver Eagle bullion coin. In 2016, the U.S. Mint issued a special series of gold coins to commemorate the 100th anniversary of three classic coin designs, including this Half-Ounce Gold Walking Liberty. It stands as a testament to America's rich coinage heritage and design excellence.
