Beschrijving keerzijde A boldly rendered American bald eagle, wings spread and raised, perches assertively upon a rocky mountain outcropping with a pine bough at lower left, its head turned to the left in a commanding profile. The composition, derived from Weinman's original reverse design, conveys strength and dynamism through deeply sculptured high relief. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA arcs along the upper border, with E PLURIBUS UNUM inscribed to the left of the eagle. The designation AU 24K 1/2 OZ. appears in the exergue above the lower legend HALF DOLLAR, and the designer's monogram AW is present at lower right.

Aanvullende informatie

Issued to mark the centennial of Adolph Weinman's 1916 Walking Liberty half dollar design, this piece reproduces that composition at half-dollar scale but strikes it in .9999 fine gold — a purity the original Mint never approached for circulating coinage. Congress authorized the three-coin 2016 centennial program alongside companion gold strikes of the Mercury dime and Standing Liberty quarter designs, all three of which debuted in the same Weinman centennial year.

The half-dollar gold piece sold out its 65,000-unit mintage within days of the July 2016 release, briefly crashing the Mint's online ordering system.
