FAQs
The Silver Liberty coin, often referred to in the context of the American Silver Eagle, is a popular bullion coin issued by the United States Mint. First released in 1986, it has become one of the most recognized and sought-after silver bullion coins globally. If you’re referring to the American Silver Eagle, its design is steeped in American symbolism and history:
Obverse Design:
- The obverse (front) of the Silver Liberty coin features Adolph A. Weinman’s “Walking Liberty” design, which originally appeared on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar coin from 1916 to 1947.
- This design depicts Lady Liberty in stride, enveloped in the folds of the flag, with her right hand extended and branches of laurel and oak in her left hand. The laurel represents civil achievements, and the oak stands for military successes.
- The phrase “LIBERTY” encircles the top edge, the year of minting is found at the bottom, and the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST” is to the right of the image.
Reverse Design:
- From 1986 until 2020, the reverse depicted a heraldic eagle behind a shield, designed by John Mercanti. The eagle holds an olive branch in its right talon and arrows in its left, symbolizing America’s desire for peace but readiness for war. Above the eagle are 13 stars, representing the original 13 colonies.
- In 2021, to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the American Silver Eagle, a new reverse design was introduced, featuring a majestic eagle coming in for a landing, carrying an oak branch as if to add it to a nest. This design was created by Emily Damstra and sculpted by Michael Gaudioso.
- The reverse also includes inscriptions for the country, weight (1 oz), purity (“FINE SILVER”), and legal tender value (“ONE DOLLAR”).
This iconic design captures the essence of American freedom and the spirit of liberty, making it a cherished item among collectors and investors alike. The Silver Liberty coin, especially in its American Silver Eagle form, serves not only as a secure investment but also as a piece of art representing American ideals and history.
The main production facility for bullion Silver Eagles and proof versions is West Point Mint facility.
