The Walking Liberty Half Dollar is a 50-cent coin issued by the United States Mint from 1916 to 1947. The design, created by sculptor Adolph A. Weinman, features Lady Liberty walking confidently toward the sunrise on the obverse, while the reverse depicts an eagle perched on a mountain. The 1916 Philadelphia mint issue is particularly significant, as it was the first year of production and has lower mintage compared to later years, making it a sought-after collectible among numismatists. This coin is known for its artistic beauty and historical context, contributing to its enduring popularity.
