The U.S. Mint launched the American Eagle Coin Program in 1986 with gold and silver bullion coins for investors. The obverse of the American Eagle Silver Coins uses the beautiful “Walking Liberty” design by sculptor Adolph A. Weinman from the 1916 half dollar. Liberty walks in profile, draped in the folds of the American flag. Her right arm is extended and she carries laurel and oak branches in her left. Until 2021 the reverse shows an eagle grasping a branch first used on the 1907 American Institute of Architects Gold Medal.
