Lot of 5 2022 American Silver Eagle $1 Coin 999 Silver BU

  
The all-new reverse design on the 2022 American Silver Eagle debuted in the second half of 2021. The US Mint announced its intention to overhaul the reverse design of the coins in 2019. Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the new design was not selected and ready for production until mid-2021.

This makes 2022 the first year in which the Silver Eagle will feature only the new reverse design element from start to finish throughout the year. On the obverse of the 2022 American Silver Eagle is an image of Walking Liberty. Designed in 1916, this image shows Liberty in left-profile relief and is believed to be based on a French coin design known as the Sower. Liberty's full-length figure is shown walking toward the sun on the horizon as she extends her right hand toward the sun and carries branches of oak and laurel in her left hand. The reverse side of 2022 1 oz Silver Eagles offers the second issue of the new soaring bald eagle.

In this visual, Emily Damstra has captured the bald eagle in the midst of one of its natural activities. Soaring in flight with its wings flexed, the bald eagle clutches a large oak branch in its talons that it no doubt intends to use in the construction of its nest.
