About This Coin
The 1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollar (Best of the Mint 2026) is a United States half dollar from the Best of the Mint 2026 series. The gold coin was struck at the West Point Mint in 2026, without a mint mark, and carries the original date, 1916. The obverse features Liberty striding confidently toward the sunrise, draped in the American flag, carrying branches of laurel and oak symbolizing civil and military glory and the reverse displays an eagle perched on a mountain crag with wings partially unfurled, a sapling of mountain pine growing beside it. Designed by Adolph Alexander Weinman.
