2016 1 oz American Silver Eagle

The familiar obverse features the elegantly designed Lady Liberty walking toward a sunrise with her right arm outstretched, representing hope of a brighter future. The Stars and Stripes wave at her side as she clutches branches of laurel and oak in her left hand. This design by Adolph A. Weinman is among the most beautiful American coinage design in history. “LIBERTY,” “2016” and “IN GOD WE TRUST” are inscribed.

John Mercanti created the reverse that features the iconic eagle and shield design. The spread-winged bald eagle holds a banner in its beak that reads “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” while also holding arrows and an olive branch in its cl. Inscriptions of “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “1 OZ. FINE SILVER” and “ONE DOLLAR,” along with 13 five-pointed stars, complete the design.
