As the official silver apr57 coin of the U.S., it is only fitting that the American Silver Eagle Coin would display a patriotic design motif. Depicted on the front of the coin is Adolph Weinaman’s “Walking Liberty” design. It portrays Lady Liberty making her way towards the rising sun. She is attired in a classical toga that bears the stars and stripes of the US. As she cradles a bundle of laurel and oak leaves in one arm, the other one beckons in an inviting gesture. Lady Liberty serves as the female embodiment of this nation and represents the generosity and compassion that the U.S. extends towards those coming here for a better life. The stunning artwork has been done in a reverse proof finish with mirror-like design elements against a frosted background.
Prominently displayed on the reverse side of the coin is the Great Seal of the U.S. This iconic crest depicts a spread winged eagle, carrying an oversized shield. Held in its beak is a scroll, inscribed with the words; “E Pluribus Unum.” In its talons, it balances a pile of arrows with an olive branch. The composition of this emblem represents the unity and peace that the country strives so hard to achieve as well as the measure the government must take to defend these rights. The coin’s vital statistics encircle the seal as a border.
This 2006-P American Silver Eagle Reverse Proof Coin stands as a testimony to the ideals and values that this nation holds so dearly.
