The history of the Walking Liberty Half Dollar began with the announcement of a public competition to select a new design for the denomination. This was the direct result of Presidents Roosevelt? S discontent with circulating coin designs, which he had expressed a decade earlier. By 1916, all gold denominations had been replaced with more modernistic designs, and the cent and nickel had seen new designs introduced as well. The three silver denominations were the last of the 19th century designs to be replaced in the early 20th century. The prize winner for both the dime and half dollar was Adolph A. Weinman, a sculptor born in the south-German city of Karlsruhe in 1870. In the early 1880s, he and his mother immigrated to the United States, after which Weinman became a prominent sculptor in his new country. Before designing the two new coins, he had established a steady reputation, building on his experience as student of famous Augustus St. Before the first Walking Liberty Half Dollars were struck in late 1916, a number of different prototypes, or patterns, were struck on regular planchets. These are all extremely rare, although a number of them are described in the Judd and Pollock pattern texts.

No more than a few are known for each variety, with the majority residing within the Smithsonian collection.
