American Palladium Eagles feature designs plucked from the early 20^th century. The obverse design featured on the Winged Liberty Dime from 1916 to 1945. This dime was commonly known as the Mercury Dime because of Liberty’s resemblance to the Roman messenger god Mercury. The reverse design comes from the 1907 American Institute of Architect’s medal design.

Winged Liberty is featured on the obverse of 2020 Burnished American Palladium Eagle Coins. This left-profile portrait of Liberty features her figure wearing a winged Phrygian cap on her head. It was designed in 1916 by Adolph A. Weinman and submitted to the US Mint for consideration as a replacement for the Barber Coinage, eventually being chosen for the US Dime.

An American bald eagle is shown in the reverse design element of the 2020-W 1 oz Burnished Palladium Eagle Coins. Weinman also created this design, but it was unveiled a decade earlier than the obverse design as it was used in 1907 on the aforementioned medal. It shows an eagle on a rock as it raises up its wings and uses its beak to pull at a sapling growing from within the rock.
