The obverse design is Adolph A. Weinman’s full-length "Walking Liberty". This is the same design that was first used on the 1917 Silver Half Dollar.
The reverse design, by United States Mint sculptor/engraver John Mercanti, features an eagle with shield. The eagle is clutching an olive branch in the right talon and arrows in the left.
