Design Details
 
The American Silver Eagle program was officially established under the Liberty Coin Act of 1985, signed into law by President Ronald Reagan. Production began the following year, with the first coins released in November 1986.
 
Since its introduction, the series has combined classic American coin designs with modern bullion standards. The pairing of the historic Walking Liberty obverse with the heraldic eagle reverse remained the standard design from 1986 through 2021.
 
Obverse
 
The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman’s iconic Walking Liberty design, originally introduced in 1916 on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar. Liberty is depicted draped in the American flag as she walks toward a rising sun, symbolizing hope, freedom, and a new day for the nation.
 
Reverse
 
The reverse displays the heraldic eagle design by John Mercanti, featuring a shielded eagle holding an olive branch and arrows in its talons. Above the eagle are thirteen stars, representing the original American colonies.
