Obverse

Walking Liberty features on the obverse of all American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coins. The design featured here was created by Adolph A. Weinman and comes with a vision of Liberty in left-profile relief walking toward the sun on the horizon rising over a mountain peak. Liberty has her right hand outstretched, her left hand carrying branches of oak and laurel, and the American flag draped over her shoulders and back.

Reverse

The heraldic eagle of the United States is found on the reverse side of 2002 American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coins. In this design, the heraldic eagle is shown in front-facing relief with the US shield on its chest, an olive branch in one talon, and the arrows of war in one talon. The triangular cluster of 13 stars overhead represent the original colonies.

History

With 10.539 million coins sold in the 2002 American Eagle Silver Coin Series, mintage was up 1.5 million from the 2001 issue of the coins and hit the highest mark since 1987. It was just the second time mintage surpassed the 10 million mark and by the 20^th anniversary in 2006, only three date marks would have done so.
