Walking Liberty Half Dollar was minted from 1916 to 1947. The coin is named after its representation of Liberty on the obverse. The coin's obverse and reverse was designed by Adolph A. Weinman and his mark, "AAW", appears under the eagle's wing feathers on the reverse.

The Walking Liberty half dollar obverse was used as the obverse design of the American Silver Eagle bullion coin.
