USA - Eagle $1 2021, Type 2 Reverse

The U.S. Mint has issued the American Silver Eagle series annually since 1986 with virtually no changes to its iconic patriotic design. In 2021, the 35th year of issue for the popular series, the Mint is retiring the heraldic eagle (Type-1) image on the reverse and replacing it with a newly designed rendition of the national bird. The Type-2 reverse features an eagle with a branch of oak in its grasp. Oak leaves are a symbol of independence, strength, longevity, truth, and life itself.
This 2021 American Silver Eagle coin is one of the first to be released with the Type-2 Eagle Landing design!
The bullion coin is struck from 1 Troy oz. of .999 fine silver.
The coin measures 40.60 mm in diameter.
This coin's enhanced security features include an anti-counterfeit reeded edge implemented for the first time on the series.
The obverse features Adolph Weinman's artist initials for the first time in the series.
The silver dollar is minted with a stunning Brilliant Uncirculated finish.
Exciting Type-2 American Silver Eagle Design
Obverse: The obverse features the time-honored rendition of Lady Liberty as a young woman, strolling toward the rising sun while draped in an American flag. The lovely lady cradles a bouquet of long oak and laurel branches, symbols of strength, honor, and triumph. Inscriptions include "LIBERTY," "2021," and "IN GOD WE TRUST." This personification of Liberty by famed early 20th-century sculptor Adolph A. Weinman was first struck upon the circulating Walking Liberty Half Dollar coin in 1916. For the first time in the history of the series Adolph Weinman's initials, "AW" will appear below the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST."
Reverse: The new Type-2 reverse depicts a magnificently detailed eagle in flight preparing to land, with a branch of oak clutched in its talons. Inscribed "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," "1 OZ. FINE SILVER," and "ONE DOLLAR." The "Eagle Landing" design is the work of science Illustrator Emily Damstra. Damstra has created interpretive signage for museums, zoos, and natural areas, as well as multiple coinage designs for the U.S. and Royal Canadian Mints. [Modern Coin Mart]
