Weinman’s celebrated 1916 Walking Liberty artwork. On the obverse, Liberty walks toward the sunrise while carrying oak and laurel branches and wearing the American flag across her shoulders. The reverse portrays a young bald eagle standing on a rocky outcrop with partially extended wings, reflecting the strength and detail of the original design. **Silver Medal** The Silver Medal features an updated interpretation of the Walking Liberty design. On the obverse, Liberty is shown moving toward the rising sun in left-profile relief. The reverse displays a bald eagle flying over the American landscape as the sun rises in the background, creating a contemporary companion to the classic coin. **History** The Walking Liberty Half Dollar was created during the effort to improve American coinage that began during Theodore Roosevelt’s presidency. Sculptor Adolph A. Weinman received the commission in 1915 to replace the Barber Half Dollar and Barber Dime with new designs that combined artistic quality with everyday circulation. **Ordering** If you have questions, BGASC customer service can be reached at 888-992-4272.
