Design Details
 
The American Silver Eagle program was established under the Liberty Coin Act of 1985, signed into law by President Ronald Reagan. Production began the following year, launching what would become one of the most successful bullion coin programs in modern numismatic history.
 
From 1986 through 2021, the series featured the pairing of Walking Liberty on the obverse and the heraldic eagle reverse, creating one of the most recognizable combinations in American coin design.
 
Obverse
 
The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman’s iconic Walking Liberty design, originally introduced in 1916. Liberty is depicted walking toward the rising sun draped in the American flag, symbolizing freedom, hope, and the promise of a new day.
 
Reverse
 
The reverse displays the heraldic eagle design by John Mercanti, inspired by the Great Seal of the United States. The eagle stands behind a shield while holding an olive branch and arrows, with thirteen stars above the eagle representing the original American colonies.
