The iconic design of the Silver American Eagle is steeped in cultural symbolism. On the obverse, you find the timeless depiction of Lady Liberty enveloped in the folds of the American flag, a design originally created by Adolph A. Weinman in 1916 and emblematic of freedom and hope. The reverse showcases the heraldic eagle with a shield, arrows in one talon and an olive branch in the other, a design conceived by John Mercanti that signifies strength and peace—a dual narrative central to American identity.
