Just like the original bullion coins, the obverse of the American Eagle Silver Proof Coin features Adolph A. Weinman’s depiction of Liberty in full stride, enhanced to reflect Weinman’s original vision more closely. The coin’s reverse shows an eagle landing with an oak branch, designed by Emily Damstra and sculpted by Michael Gaudioso.
Enhanced Security Features
In addition to design updates, the American Eagle Silver Proof Coins incorporate enhanced security features and advanced minting technology for high detail and anti-counterfeiting measures. These features make the coins more challenging to replicate, aligning with global anti-counterfeiting efforts.
