The U.S. Mint launched the American Silver Eagle in 1986. In honor of
the series' 35th Anniversary in 2021, the Mint has changed the reverse
design of the coin for the first time ever. Early year releases such as
this example were the last to feature the Type-1 heraldic eagle reverse
design created by the Mint's 12th Chief Engraver, John Mercanti. In
fact, the United States Mint reserved the very last 200,000 Type 1
Silver Eagles to be struck in 2021 and releases them later in the year.

The US Mint strove
to keep its workers safe and maintain its production from 2020 into
2021 despite the pandemic and the constrained silver supply. Because of
limited resources at its facilities, many silver coin programs were
delayed. This includes the 2021 Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars as well as the 2020 and 2021 Silver Eagle coins. The silver shortage was caused by multiple factors, but particularly owing to internationally high
investment demand. Therefore, these 2021 Silver Eagle coins are
designated as Emergency Issues. They carry modern history along with the
beloved original reverse design for the last time.
