Obverse

Walking Liberty is one of the most popular coin designs in American history and it has featured on the obverse of Proof American Eagle 1 oz Silver coins since 1986. This depiction of Liberty captures her full figure in left-profile relief as she walks confidently toward the sun on the horizon. Designed in 1916 by Adolph A. Weinman, it symbolizes Americas drive and determination to discover to brighter future.

Reverse

For the reverse of 1991-S Proof American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coins, the US Mint features the heraldic eagle of the United States. First designed in 1792 by Robert Scot, the first Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, this modern version of the national emblem was modified in 1986 for the release of this series by John Mercanti, the man who would go on to serve as the 12th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint from 2006 to 2010.

History

The modern United States Mint system has a total of four branch mint locations: San Francisco, Denver, Philadelphia, and West Point. In the history of the Proof American Eagle Silver Coin series, only the Denver Mint has never struck a version of the coin. From 1986 to 1992, the San Francisco Mint was in charge of striking the coins and issued S mint marks on the reverse field.
