1/4 oz Silver Round - Random Mint
- Description
Inspired by the values of freedom and patriotism, the Walking Liberty Half Dollar coin was a beloved symbol of American history from 1916 to 1947. While it was eventually replaced by a new design featuring Benjamin Franklin, the iconic image remains popular today on the American Silver Eagle bullion coin and on low-premium silver rounds from Golden State Mint (GSM).
Round Highlights:
- Arrives in individual flips or tubes of 20 rounds
- Includes the vision of Walking Liberty from the US half-dollar coin
- Contains 1/4 Troy oz of .999 pure silver.
- Walking Liberty graces the obverse of the rounds.
- The American bald eagle features on the reverse of the rounds.
- An original creation of Adolph A. Weinman.
Adolph A. Weinman entered a competition for 20th-century artists to rejuvenate the look of American coins. In 1916, the US Mint selected two of Weinman's designs for circulation silver coins, including the Winged Liberty design for the 10-cent coin, known as the Mercury Dime for its likeness to the Roman god.
Weinman's design of Liberty, featured on the Walking Liberty round, has been praised by scholars and art enthusiasts for its striking resemblance to other works of art. Some even compare it to Oscar Roty's "Sower" on French coins and Weinman's own 1909 design of the Union Soldiers and Sailors' Monument in Baltimore.
