Obverse

Walking Liberty features on the obverse of both coins in the 2012-S American Eagle San Francisco Mint 75th Anniversary 2-Coin Set. This depiction of Lady Liberty was created in 1916 by Adolph A. Weinman and depicts her figure walking toward the sun on the horizon in pursuit of brighter days in the future.

Reverse

The heraldic eagle of the United States is the national seal and appears on the reverse of all coins in the American Eagle 1 oz Silver Series. This modern version of the heraldic eagle was created by John Mercanti and depicts the American bald eagle with the national shield on its chest, arrows in one talon, an olive branch in the other, and a triangular cluster of 13 stars above its head.

History

The first San Francisco Mint branch in the US Mint system opened in 1854 to refine metals discovered during the California Gold Rush. The mint quickly outgrew its original building and moved to a new one in the city in 1874. The current building has been in use since 1937.
