Obverse

For the obverse of 1941 Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollars, the US Mint continued its use of the 1916 Walking Liberty design Weinman created. This left-profile portrait of Liberty depicts her figure as she marches toward the sun on the horizon. The American flag is draped over her shoulders and she carries branches of oak and laurel in her left hand. The design is meant to reflect the nations drive toward a brighter future.

Reverse

The reverse side of 1941 Walking Liberty Half Dollar Coins includes the image of an American bald eagle at rest on the edge of a cliff. The bird is perched with its wings flexed behind it and ready to lift off into flight. The talons of the eagle clutch a small sapling growing from one of the cracks in the cliff.

History

The Walking Liberty design was well-received by the American public, but proved difficult for the US Mint to strike clearly from its introduction in 1916 throughout its run until 1947. It is believed the difficulty in clearly striking the design is one of the reasons it was replaced by the Franklin Half Dollar in 1948. Today, the Walking Liberty is beautifully struck each year on the American Eagle Silver Coins.
