Silver Eagle Coins Design
The silver eagle coins have an iconic design created by Weinman and Mercanti. The obverse features Adolph Weinman's classic work of art, which was used on the half dollar coin between 1916 and 1947 and is known as the Walking Liberty. The design represents a brighter future and has an image of the sun shining, and Lady Liberty draped in an American flag, carrying a bundle of oak branches. The mintage date is at the bottom of the coin, and the word ‘LIBERTY’ curves across the top of the coin. ‘In God, We Trust’ is on the right-hand side.
The reverse of the silver eagle features an eagle and shield, designed by John Mercanti. The design represents peace, freedom, and independence. Above the eagles head, you’ll see a triangle of thirteen stars representing America's founding states.
