The Proof American Eagle Silver Coin was once issued by the United States Mint with mintage caps in each year. However, as of the late 1990s, the United States Mint has adopted the same approach it uses with the bullion version of the coin, minting the collectible silver pieces to meet demand from collectors.

Obverse

On the obverse side of the 2006-W Proof American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coin is a depiction of Walking Liberty. This iconic symbol first appeared on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar circulation coin in 1916 and was produced through 1947. It was designed by Adolph A. Weinman in 1916 and is believed to have been inspired by a French coin known as the sower for the image of a woman walking in left-profile relief sowing seeds in a field.

Reverse

The reverse face of the 2006 Proof American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coin includes the heraldic eagle of the United States. The seal includes an American bald eagle in front-facing relief with a shield on its chest, arrows in one talon, and an olive branch in the other. A triangular cluster of 13 stars is featured above the head of the eagle.
