Pobjoy Mint is delighted to announce that the reverse frosted silver bullion $1 coin, designed to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Last Walking Liberty Half Dollar, is now available in the UK. The coin has been issued on behalf of the British Virgin Islands Government.
The Walking Liberty half dollar was a United States half dollar coin minted from 1916 to 1947 and designed by Adolph A. Weinman, a well-known sculptor and engraver. The coin design features a left-profile portrait of Lady Liberty as she walks toward the sun cresting a mountain on the horizon as she prepares to greet the new day. Lady Liberty is draped in the American flag and reaches out for the sun with her right hand as she carries branches of oak and laurel in her left hand, symbolising both civil and military glory.
The Walking Liberty half dollar remain among the few existing currencies to contain any silver in their composition due to being minted before the production of silver coinage ceased in America. In order to maintain the exclusivity of this piece, no more than 7,500 of the 1oz Fine 999. Silver Reverse Frosted Bullion coins will be produced.
Approved by Buckingham Palace this coin carries an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II exclusively by Pobjoy Mint, which also features a frosted background.
The Eagle is depicted on the left of Lady Liberty and features the American national bird with his wings unfolded, fearless in spirit and conscious of his power. The eagles vigilant gaze and poised bearing represents the courage and bravery of the United States. Despite the coins discontinuation after 30 years the designed remained extremely popular and since 1986, with a few modifications, the reverse featuring Lady Liberty has been used on American Silver Eagles to this day. Bullion coins are always a very attractive purchase due to their intrinsic metal value and with this design featuring a new enhanced reverse cameo finish, it is an even more attractive purchase.
