Obverse

The obverse of all Proof American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coins has the vision of Walking Liberty created by Adolph A. Weinman. Designed in 1916, it depicts Liberty as she walks toward the sun on the horizon. Her right hand reaches out toward the sun as her left hand carries the branches of oak and laurel. She also wears the American flag over her shoulders.

Reverse

Modified for this release by John Mercanti, the heraldic eagle showcases the American eagle with the national shield on its chest. In its talons, the eagle clutches the arrows of war and olive branch of peace, with its head turned toward the olive branch. A cluster of 13 stars is above the bird in the shape of a triangle.
