The United States Mint is a bureau of the Department of the Treasury responsible for producing coinage for the United States to conduct its trade and commerce, as well as controlling the movement of bullion. It does not produce paper money; that responsibility belongs to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing
The Silver American Eagle is one of the most prolific and successful bullion programs produced by the United States Mint. Silver American Eagles are widely popular and highly collected coins today, but their significance is rooted in more than just the sales. There is historical significance to this coin and it starts with the obverse of the Silver Eagle, designed by Adolph A. Weinman. Walking Liberty graces the obverse of the 1 oz Silver Eagle Coin. This effigy of Liberty from Adolph A. Weinman was created in 1916 and originally featured on the US half dollar until 1947. It depicts Liberty’s full-length figure in left-profile relief as she walks toward the sun draped in the American flag. For the reverse design of American Silver Eagles, the US Mint offers the new soaring eagle design for a third consecutive year. Introduced in mid-2021 and designed by Emily Damstra, this visual shows the bald eagle in left-profile relief as it descends into view with a large oak branch in its talons.
