American Eagle 2021 One Ounce Silver Reverse Proof Two-Coin Set Designer Edition.
The obverse design of the Silver Eagle is taken from the Walking Liberty Half Dollar. This coin was issued for circulation in the United States from 1916 to 1947.
The reverse of the coin, a new design ( designated T-2 ), features an eagle as it approaches a landing carrying an oak branch from AIP designer Emily Damstra and sculpted by Mint Medallic Artist Michael Gaudioso.
I was surprised by how much I liked the new, more realistic depiction of the American Bald Eagle on the reverse while holding the new design in my hand for the very first time.
