The 1990 issue of Proof Silver Eagles marked a high-water point for the decade, from a mintage standpoint. The mintage of 695,510 coins was more than 100,000 coins higher than any other date mark from 1990 to 1999. In fact, this mintage would not be surpassed until 2001.

Obverse designs on these 1990-S Proof American Silver Eagle Coins include the image of Walking Liberty. Designed in 1916 by Adolph A. Weinman, this visual shows Liberty in left-profile relief as she walks toward the sun on the horizon with the branches of oak and laurel in her left hand.

Reverse visuals on 1990-S 1 oz Proof Silver Eagles include John Mercanti’s version of the heraldic eagle. Modernized in 1986, this image shows the bald eagle behind the US national shield with the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace in its talons. A triangular cluster of 13 stars is found overhead.
