Introduced by the U.S. Mint in 1986, the American Silver Eagle series maintained consistent imagery until mid-2021. In celebration of its thirty-fifth anniversary, the Mint released the Type-2 Silver Eagle, featuring a new reverse design and an updated obverse depiction of Liberty.
The 2023 bullion coin represents the third year of the Type-2 eagle landing reverse design. As legal tender valued at one dollar, the coin measures 40.60 mm in diameter and features an edge with interrupted reeding to deter counterfeiting.
Obverse: The obverse showcases Lady Liberty as a young woman, draped in the U.S. flag, walking towards the sunrise, holding oak and laurel branches. The inscriptions "LIBERTY," "2023," and "IN GOD WE TRUST" are present, along with Adolph A. Weinman's "AW" monogram, honoring his original 1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollar design.
Reverse: The reverse displays a detailed eagle about to land, wings raised, clutching an oak branch. Surrounding the eagle are the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," "1 OZ. FINE SILVER," and "ONE DOLLAR." Emily Damstra of the U.S. Mint Artistic Infusion Program crafted the Type-2 eagle landing design.
This 2023 American Silver Eagle coin is considered Brilliant Uncirculated (GEM BU), indicating a coin with a high-quality strike, excellent surface finish, and outstanding eye appeal, akin to a Mint State 69 or higher grade.
