A Special Anniversary Walking Liberty Half Dollar: The 2022 Reverse Proof
The Walking Liberty was released in 1916 as an integral part of President Roosevelt’s coin beautification project. It was his belief that a ‘superpower’ nation had to have coinage the world would envy and desire. Boy was he right – the Walking Liberty is regarded as the most beautiful U.S. coin ever released into circulation. The design was so popular the U.S. Mint released it again when the Silver Eagle Dollar was introduced in 1986. Today the Silver Eagle is the #1 silver dollar in the world.
The Walking Liberty Half Dollar was struck from 1916 to 1947 at all three main U.S. Mints: Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco.
These stunning reverse proof coins feature the iconic obverse and reverse designs of the Walking Liberty on one side, and an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on the other.
This special 75th anniversary coin is also one of the last pieces ever struck with Queen Elizabeth II’s portrait – making it an iconic end of an era coin.
But that is not all – this coin is also incredibly rare thanks to the incredibly small mintage of just 1,947 total pieces.
Each of these 75th Anniversary Walking Liberty Half Dollars have been struck by the Pobjoy Mint in stunning reverse proof finish and will arrive encapsulated and in a beautiful collector’s display.
