2015 April Silver of the Month
The April 2015 SilverTowne Silver of the Month highlights a familiar icon of the American landscape, The Statue of Liberty. Affectionately referred to as Lady Liberty, the statue depicts a robed female representing Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom. In one hand, held high in the air above her head, she holds an easily identifiable torch. Perhaps not as commonly known is the tablet (evoking the law) in her other hand – upon which is inscribed the date of American Declaration of Independence - July 4, 1776.
The Statue of Liberty, located on Liberty Island in New York Harbor in New York City, was a gift to the United States from the people of France. The statue’s official name is Liberty Enlightening the World and was designed by Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, a French sculptor. The statue was completed in France in July 1884 and arrived in New York in June of 1885. It was shipped as 350 individual pieces packed in 214 crates. The pedestal portion of the monument was constructed on site in America in April of 1886. The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on October 28, 1886, with President Grover Cleveland overseeing the ceremony in front of thousands of spectators.
