This particular coin is a commemorative silver dollar issued by the United States Mint in 1987 to celebrate the bicentennial of the United States Constitution. It features Adolph A. Weinman’s iconic Walking Liberty design, originally used on the half dollar from 1916 to 1947. This design depicts Liberty striding towards the dawn, carrying laurel and oak branches, symbolizing civil and military honors.
Its significance lies in its historical connection to the Constitution’s anniversary and its silver content, which contributes to its intrinsic value beyond its face value of one dollar. The coin serves as a tangible reminder of the foundational document of the United States and is often sought after by collectors for its design, historical importance, and precious metal content. It represents a specific instance within a broader category of commemorative coins issued by the U.S. Mint.
