Walking Liberty 1 AVDP Oz. Fine Copper Commemorative Round

This Walking Liberty round commemorates the artwork featured on Adolph Weinman’s half-dollar coin design. Please photos regarding the condition of the coin. 

Details about the original coin:

On the front of this round is the eponymous Walking Liberty, who is crossing the great plains of America to greet the rising sun. She is attired in a toga bearing the stars and stripes of our flag. In one arm, she clasps a bundle of laurel and oak branches, while she extends the other in a gesture of invitation. The intention of Weinman’s design was to reflect both the peace and abundance that this country represents to so many who immigrate here. Also inscribed on this round are the words, “Liberty,” and the phrase, “In God We Trust.” The only exception to Weinman’s original front design is the omission of the coin’s mintage date, which used to appear underneath Lady Liberty.

The reverse side of the coin also departs from Weinman’s design. In lieu of his perched eagle is a stylized rendition of the heraldic eagle. This rendition features a winged shield with the word “USA” printed beneath it. Above the winged shield appears our nation’s flag. To further enhance its patriotic motif, a series of 6 stars appears on the reverse side’s border along with the purity and weight of the round.
