It is the final year that the Silver Eagle would bear John Mercanti's iconic heraldic eagle reverse design.

The new reverse design beginning in 2021 shows an eagle landing on an olive branch, echoing the Ike dollars of the 1970s - more specifically, the 50\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TextRun SCXW20569646 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-parastyle=\"Preformatted Text\" data-fontsize=\"10\" class=\"NormalTextRun Superscript SCXW20569646 BCX0\"\u003eth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TextRun SCXW20569646 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-parastyle=\"Preformatted Text\" class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW20569646 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eanniversary of the beginning of that series.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"335551550\":1,\"335551620\":1,\"335559738\":0,\"335559739\":0}' class=\"EOP SCXW20569646 BCX0\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"335551550\":1,\"335551620\":1,\"335559738\":0,\"335559739\":0}' class=\"EOP SCXW20569646 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TextRun SCXW93972835 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-parastyle=\"Preformatted Text\" class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW93972835 BCX0\"\u003eOn the subject of anniversaries, another Silver Eagle to watch out for is the 75\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TextRun SCXW93972835 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-parastyle=\"Preformatted Text\" data-fontsize=\"10\" class=\"NormalTextRun Superscript SCXW93972835 BCX0\"\u003eth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TextRun SCXW93972835 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-parastyle=\"Preformatted Text\" class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW93972835 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eanniversary commemorative for the end of WWII.
