Obverse

Weinmans image of Walking Liberty on the obverse of the 1/10 oz GSM Walking Liberty Silver Round is said to have been inspired by various images from the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries. Libertys figure is depicted in left-profile relief as she strides toward the sun on the horizon, one hand outstretched and the other at her side clutching oak and laurel branches. It is believed that Weinman took inspiration from Oscar Rotys Sower female figure on French coins of the era, and that Libertys head and cap in this design were inspired by his own 1909 Union Soldiers and Sailors Monument erected in Baltimore.

Reverse

The 1/10 oz GSM Walking Liberty Silver Round also features the exact design from the reverse of the Walking Liberty Half Dollar as created by Weinman.
