The 1996 release of Proof Silver Eagles was one of several throughout the latter half of the 1990s to experience increased interest. While demand fell steading throughout the first half of the 1990s, from 695,510 coins in 1990 to 372,168 coins in 1994, the trend was different from 1995 to 1999. Demand slowly rose from the 1994 low-water point to 549,796 coins by 1999.

The obverse of 1996-P Proof American Silver Eagles comes with Adolph A. Weinman’s depiction of Walking Liberty. Her full-length figure is shown in left-profile relief as she strides toward the sun on the horizon.

On the reverse side of the 1996-P 1 oz Proof Silver Eagle is John Mercanti’s version of the heraldic eagle. This design shows the eagle supporting the US national shield with the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace. Above its head is a triangular cluster of 13 stars.
