The Design
Adolph A. Weinman’s “The Walking Liberty” design showcases Lady Liberty folded in the American flag as she walks toward the sun's rays.
Lady Liberty stretches one arm to welcome those seeking shelter in the New World and has oak and laurel branches on the other. The design also contains the word “LIBERTY,” the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the year of mintage.
The 12th Chief Engraver of the US Mint, John Mercanti, designed the Heraldic Eagle, which has the National Shield on its chest, arrows and olive branches on its talons, and a banner with the inscription “E PLURIBUS UNUM” on its beak. The Thirteen Original Colonies are represented by the stars above the Heraldic Eagle.
The inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “1 OZ FINE SILVER,” and “ONE DOLLAR” describe the face value, weight, metal content, and purity data.
