2016-W 1/2 oz Walking Liberty Half Dollar Gold Coins with Box & COA

In 2016, the US Mint reached an important landmark: three remarkable designs in American coinage history celebrated 100 years.

Celebrating the centennial of Mercury Dimes, Standing Liberty Quarter Dollars, and Walking Liberty Half Dollar designs, the US Mint struck them in limited-edition gold bullion coins.

The Walking Liberty Gold Half Dollar was the last coin from the 2016 set released by the US Mint. It contains 1/2 Troy oz of 24k gold and was issued at the West Point branch.

It features Adolph A. Weinman's original 1916 Walking Liberty design, which became the obverse of American Silver Eagles Coins in 1986.

The Design

The obverse showcases Lady Liberty walking toward the sun’s rays with the American flag draped on her shoulder and oak branches on one arm. The other arm is stretched in a welcome sign. 

The word “LIBERTY” arches over her, the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST” lies on the lower right, along with the “W” mint mark, and the year of issuance is at the bottom rim.

The reverse design depicts the Bald Eagle perched on the edge of a rock, preparing wings to fly and carrying oak branches on its talons. 

The words “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” are inscribed on top, “‘E PLURIBUS UNUM” on the left, and the description of the coin’s metal content, weight, and face value is beneath the eagle and reads “AU 24K 1/2 OZ,” and “HALF-DOLLAR.”

Mintage

The Centennial of the Mercury Silver Dime, the Standing Liberty Silver Quarter, and the Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar coins were honored by the US Mint through a limited strike of gold coins.

The 1/2 oz Walking Liberty Gold Half Dollar Coin corresponds to the last design struck with 99.99% pure gold coins.

The US Mint issued them through the West Point branch, hence the “W” mint mark on the obverse side, in a limited strike of 65,512 coins.
