As the United States Mint celebrated the 25th anniversary of the American Silver Eagle in 2011, a special five-coin set was released. In addition to a standard silver bullion and proof coin, there were two uncirculated coins produced and a stunning reverse proof included in the collection. All US Mint facilities, except the Denver Mint, participated in production in 2011.
The reverse of the American Silver Eagles a modern interpretation of the heraldic eagle of the United States. Created by the former Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, John Mercanti, this is a modern version of a symbol that has featured on American coinage since the 19th century.
On the obverse of each 2011-P 1 oz Proof American Silver Eagle Coin you’ll find the stunning Walking Liberty design. This image was created by Adolph A. Weinman in 1916 for use on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar, a coin that was in circulation in the US from 1916 to 1947. This is considered one of the most beloved design ever used on American coinage.
These 2011 1 oz Proof American Silver Eagle coins were struck by the US Mint’s Philadelphia Mint facility.
