The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse (Heads): The United States Mint returned to its original historical assets to render a closer reflection of Adolph A. Weinman's iconic vision - his full-length figure of Liberty in full stride, enveloped in folds of the flag, with her right hand extended and branches of laurel and oak in her left. This refined rendering restores Weinman's traditional artist mark, honoring the original detail and craftsmanship of one of America's most beloved coin designs. Inscriptions read "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and the semiquincentennial dates "1776 ~ 2026."

Reverse (Tails): Introduced in 2021, this completely new design captures a bald eagle in a breathtaking moment - wings flexed as it approaches a landing, clutching an oak branch in its talons as if to add it to a nest. The dynamic composition conveys strength, purpose, and the enduring spirit of America's national symbol. Inscriptions read "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," "1 OZ. FINE SILVER," and "ONE DOLLAR."
