A Legacy Reborn: The Walking Liberty Design
The original Walking Liberty Half Dollar, first minted in 1916, stands as one of the most beloved coin designs in U.S. history. Crafted by the renowned sculptor Adolph A. Weinman, it features Lady Liberty striding towards the sunrise, draped in the American flag, her right arm outstretched in a gesture of welcome. This powerful and graceful depiction quickly became a symbol of American ideals and artistic achievement.

This Half-Ounce Gold Walking Liberty coin meticulously recreates Weinman's original design, offering collectors an opportunity to acquire this classic in a modern precious metal format, struck at the esteemed West Point Mint.
