Description
The American Silver Eagle is the most widely recognized silver bullion coin in the world, valued for its purity, beauty, and long-standing government guarantee. The 2026 Silver Eagle continues this legacy with one troy ounce of .999 fine silver minted in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.
The obverse displays Adolph A. Weinman’s iconic Walking Liberty design from 1916—Lady Liberty wrapped in the American flag, extending her hand toward a rising sun. Widely considered one of the most beautiful images ever used on a U.S. coin, it symbolizes hope, strength, and renewal.
The reverse features the updated American bald eagle design introduced during the series’ 35th anniversary. Created by AIP artist Emily Damstra and sculpted by Michael Gaudioso, the design depicts an eagle descending with outstretched wings while clutching an oak branch—representing fortitude, wisdom, and patriotism.
Each Silver Eagle is fully backed by the United States Government for weight, purity, and silver content, making it a top choice for investors and collectors alike.
