The obverse shows Liberty walking with a sunrise (or sunset) over mountains behind her. A wide band around the outside of the coin bears the legend “Walking Liberty 1916 – 1947”, while the smaller area within this where Liberty herself appears includes the words “Liberty In God We Trust 1916”.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse features another wide band with the disclaiming statement “Commemorative Copy One Troy Ounce 999 Silver” while the inner “field” shows the eagle of the Republic with the words “United States of America E Pluribus Unum Half Dollar”.</p><p><br /></p><p>This round design is interesting because it precisely replicates legal tender of the United States from 1916, including a face value, but manages to avoid the charge of counterfeiting by cleverly including a border which declares the round to be no more than a commemorative copy – an interesting method of reissuing a coin without falling foul of the law.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
