The coin’s obverse (front) was inspired by Adolph A. Weinman’s 1916 design, “Walking Liberty.” The classic design is an instant favorite with collectors and fans. John Mercanti created the reverse (back), which depicted a heraldic eagle behind a shield. The eagle carries a flag in its beak while gripping an olive branch in its right talon and arrows in its left, echoing the Great Seal of the United States. Above the eagle and below the inscription are thirteen five-pointed stars commemorating the original Thirteen Colonies.
