The American Liberty Silver Medal and Gold Coin will be available from the United States Mint starting today at 12pm EST.
Depicting a modern portrayal of the idea of liberty, the obverse of both the silver medal and gold American Liberty coin feature a bristlecone pine, which is a tree species native to California, Nevada, and Utah. Thought to be one of the oldest living organisms on Earth, the bristlecone pines grow where other plants cannot and are often the first to repopulate after destructive and calamitous changes occur like lava run or glacial runoff. Inscriptions on the obverse design, which was sculpted by Josepha Menna and designed by Elana Hagler (AIP [Artistic Infusion Program]), read “LIBERTY,” “WE SHALL PERSEVERE,” “P (for Philadelphia),” and “2023.”
The reverse, which features a young bald eagle standing on a rock moments before taking flight, includes the inscription “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.” It was designed and sculpted by Mint Medallic Artist John P. McGraw.
Struck in one Troy ounce of 99.9% fine silver, the silver medal is featured in a stunning Proof finish and was minted at Philadelphia. The mintage limit is set at 75,000 with no available product limit and a household order limit set at just five. It will be available for $82.00.
The 2023 American Liberty High Relief Gold Coin is the sixth coin in the American Liberty series. The obverse depicts the same image as the silver medal, however, the reverse inscriptions read “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “1 OZ.,” “.9999 FINE GOLD,” “$100,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”
Struck in a Proof finish, the West Point minted coin is comprised of one Troy ounce of 99.99% gold and will be available for $2,865.00. It has a mintage and product limit of 12,500 and a household limit of three.
