2016 1/2 oz Walking Liberty Centennial Gold Coin 1916-2016 100th Anniversary (Scruffy)

Commemorates a century of one of America’s most celebrated coin designs, the 2016 1/2 oz Walking Liberty Centennial Gold Coin honors the original Walking Liberty Half Dollar first issued in 1916. Struck by the United States Mint to mark the design’s 100th anniversary, this gold coin contains 1/2 troy ounce of .9999 fine gold and revives Adolph A. Weinman’s timeless artwork in a modern bullion format. 

The original Walking Liberty design is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful ever produced by the U.S. Mint. Introduced in 1916, it symbolized freedom and optimism as Lady Liberty strides confidently toward the rising sun, draped in the American flag and carrying branches of laurel and oak. In 2016, the U.S. Mint reissued this iconic imagery in gold to celebrate its centennial, reconnecting modern collectors with a design that later inspired the American Silver Eagle. Even in scruffy condition, these anniversary gold coins remain highly sought after for their historical significance and precious metal value.
