The Type 1 American Silver Eagle coin features a heraldic eagle reverse and was minted from 1986 to mid-2021. The Type 2 coin, introduced mid-year in 2021, features a new "landing eagle" reverse design. The obverse design for both types uses a version of the classic "Walking Liberty" image.

History of the Type 1 Silver Eagle. The American Silver Eagle program was authorized by the Liberty Coin Act, approved by Congress in July 1985, and the first coins were released by the United States Mint on November 24, 1986. Obverse (Front) Design: Both Type 1 and Type 2 coins use the iconic "Walking Liberty" design by Adolph A. Weinman, originally featured on the half dollar from 1916 to 1947. The image depicts Lady Liberty in full stride toward a rising sun, draped in the American flag and carrying laurel and oak branches.

The obverse on the Type 1 coin did not include Weinman's artist initials "AW" until a slight refresh in 2021. Reverse (Back) Design: The Type 1 reverse, designed by U. Mint Chief Engraver John M. Mercanti, features a heraldic eagle with a shield on its breast.

The eagle holds an olive branch in its right talon and arrows in its left, symbolizing peace and strength. Thirteen five-pointed stars, representing the original colonies, are arranged in a pyramid shape above the eagle.

History of the Type 2 Silver Eagle. In 2021, to commemorate the American Silver Eagle's 35th anniversary and incorporate modern anti-counterfeiting measures (including a security notch on the edge), the U. Mint introduced a new reverse design.

Obverse (Front) Design: The obverse still features Weinman's "Walking Liberty, " but the design was "refreshed" to better reflect the artist's original 1916 master molds and includes his initials "AW" for the first time. Reverse (Back) Design: The Type 2 reverse design, created by American-Canadian artist Emily Damstra and engraved by U. Mint Medallic Artist Michael Gaudioso, is a more naturalistic depiction of an eagle. It shows a bald eagle in flight, preparing to land on a branch and clutching an oak branch in its talons.
