Obverse

The obverse of both Silver Eagle coins in this 2-coin set features the classic Walking Liberty design. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman in 1916, it shows Liberty walking toward the rising sun with the American flag flowing around her. This image originally appeared on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar.

Reverse

On the reverse side, the two coins offer different eagle designs. The Type 1 version displays John Mercantis heraldic eagle, which features a bald eagle with a shield and a ribbon in its beak. The Type 2 coin has a modern design by Emily Damstra, showing a bald eagle in flight holding an oak branch. This new design was officially introduced in the second half of 2021.

History

The change between the Type 1 and Type 2 coins took place in mid-2021. The US Mint struck Type 1 coins through June, then stopped production to update the dies. In July, they began releasing the new Type 2 coins with the updated reverse artwork to mark the anniversary year.
