Obverse The obverse side of 2020-W Proof American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coins features Walking Liberty. This iconic depiction of Liberty was developed in 1916 by Adolph A. Weinman and featured on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar coin from 1916 to 1947. The image features Liberty walking toward the sun on the horizon with the oak and laurel branches in her left hand and the American flag over her shoulders. Reverse On the reverse face of 2020 Proof American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coin is the depiction of the heraldic eagle of the United States. First designed in 1794 by Robert Scot, the heraldic eagle depicted here was designed in 1986 by John Mercanti for use on the American Eagle Silver Coins. History Proof American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coins are offered by the United States Mint each year, but were not struck in 2009. That year required the redirection of all silver blanks for the production of bullion versions of the coin.
