The obverse side of this 2016-W American Silver Eagle Proof features the iconic Walking Liberty engraving designed by German-American sculptor / engraver Adolphe Weinman for the 1916 debut of the Walking Liberty Half Dollar. The mint chose to reissue the design for this American Silver Eagle series. Above the full-length figure of Lady Liberty is the word “liberty;” below is the engraved year of issue, 2016 in this case. The design shows Liberty with her arm stretched toward the distant horizon. Her other arm is grasping sprays of laurel and oak, renowned symbols of American glory. Beside her is the motto, “In God We Trust.”
The reserve side of this coin celebrates the 1796 Robert Scot American eagle engraving. The heraldic eagle design has been updated by John Mercanti. There are 13 stars on this reverse side that reflect the nation’s original 13 colonies.
The 2016 Silver Eagle Proof is the only of its kind to feature a lettered edge instead of the reeded edge. The lettered edge features the words "30th Anniversary" to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the Silver Eagle coins release.
