The design of the 1989 Silver Eagle features the beloved Walking Liberty motif, originally created by Adolph A. Weinman for the 1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollar.

The inscriptions “LIBERTY” and “IN GOD WE TRUST” elegantly frame her image. On the reverse side, the design, created by John Mercanti, showcases a majestic bald eagle, which clutches an olive branch and arrows, representing peace and strength. The coin's reverse also features the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “ONE DOLLAR,” further emphasizing its status as legal tender and its connection to the American spirit.
