The American Silver Eagle is a one-ounce silver bullion coin issued by the United States Mint, first released in 1986. The 1994 Silver Eagle is notable for its lower mintage compared to other years, making it more sought after by collectors. It features Adolph A. Weinman's iconic Walking Liberty design on the obverse, while the reverse showcases the heraldic eagle. The coin is composed of 99.9% silver and is considered legal tender with a face value of one dollar, though its market value typically far exceeds this due to its silver content and demand among numismatists.
