Screaming Eagle – 1/2 Troy Oz .999 Fine Silver Round
Fierce, alert and unmistakable, the Screaming Eagle brings a bold interpretation of an American emblem to fractional silver. This Intaglio Mint round contains one-half troy ounce of .999 fine silver, with an open-beaked bald eagle that gives the compact design an immediate sense of energy.
An Emblem with a Long History
The bald eagle’s place in American symbolism reaches back to the Great Seal adopted by Congress on June 20, 1782. The seal’s eagle carries an olive branch and arrows, bringing the ideas of peace and the ability to defend the nation into a single image. Its central position helped establish the bird as one of the country’s most recognizable visual symbols.
Screaming Eagle interprets that familiar subject through the bird itself rather than reproducing the Great Seal. The open beak and concentrated portrait create a more immediate, expressive composition. It is an artistic tribute to the strength and vigilance commonly associated with the eagle, presented in a small format that rewards a closer look.
Obverse Design
A detailed bald eagle appears mid-cry, its open beak giving the design its name. The contrast between the firm outline of the beak and the texture of the surrounding feathers gives the portrait its character. The close view places the emphasis on expression rather than a distant bird in flight.
Reverse Design
The Intaglio Mint emblem identifies the maker, accompanied by the round’s weight and purity details. The reverse balances the expressive wildlife portrait with the clear bullion identity of a privately minted silver round.
