The American flag was first created during the American Revolution as a symbol of the nations fight to gain freedom from Great Britain. The flag that the Continentals eventually carried into battle featured a field of blue with 13 white stars in a circle, as well as 13 stripes of alternating red and white. The modern American flag still bears the same 13 stripes and a blue field with stars, though it now features 50 white stars.

Obverse

On the obverse of 1/2 oz Silver Eagle Rounds, you will find the image of two different bald eagles. The bird in the background is captured with just the head in the design element as it looks to the right side of the round. The bird in the foreground is shown in its full figure with swept wings and talons extending beneath its frame. The inscriptions on this field of the round include STRENGTH, FREEDOM, PRIDE, and the national motto of IN GOD WE TRUST.

Reverse

The reverse side of 1/2 oz Silver Eagle Rounds depicts the American flag. Shown here as it flaps in the wind, the stripes of the flag are shown along with the field of 50 stars in the upper left. The inscriptions on this face of the round include HALF TROY OUNCE, .999 FINE SILVER, and GOLDEN STATE MINT.

History

The bald eagle is one of the most prominent symbols in American life. Pull out any coin in your pocket or bill from your wallet and you are likely to find an American bald eagle.
