Liberty is shown walking toward the sun with the American flag flowing around her. The design has remained a central feature of the Silver Eagle series since its launch. In 2021, the Mint restored Weinmans AW initials to the lower-right field. **Reverse** The reverse features the updated bald eagle image from Emily Damstra. After reviewing more than 30 design concepts, the Mint selected this detailed portrayal of an eagle approaching its nest with an oak branch. This new image replaced the heraldic eagle reverse that had been used since 1986. **History** As part of the anniversary celebration, production began in 2021 with the original reverse before pausing in June for the design transition. After the brief halt, the Mint resumed striking coins with the new Type 2 reverse. The American Gold Eagle program also received a new reverse during this time. **Ordering** For help with your order, contact BGASC customer service at 888-992-4272.
