Obverse

The obverse side of 2016 American Walking Liberty Gold Coins includes Adolph A. Weinmans iconic Walking Liberty image. This design was developed in 1916 by Weinman and shows Liberty in left-profile relief. She walks toward the sun on the horizon with branches of oak and laurel in her left hand, an American flag over her shoulders, and her right hand reaching out for the sun.

Reverse

On the reverse face of the 2016 American Walking Liberty 1/2 oz Gold Coins, you will find Weinmans bald eagle design. This image depicts the American bald eagle on a rock ledge with a small sapling between its talons and its wings raised up ready for flight.

History

Walking Liberty appeared on the US half dollar from 1916 to 1947. It was first revived by the United States Mint in 1986 as the obverse of the new American Eagle Silver bullion coins. It now features on countless other items from private mints, such as silver rounds and bars.
