The American Liberty Series
Started in 2015, the American Liberty Gold Series has endeavored to portray contemporary and more diverse portrayals of the female personification of "Liberty."
In 2017, the U.S Mint celebrated its 225th anniversary by releasing a $100 Gold Coin that featured the first ever depiction of Liberty as an African American. The coin was highly acclaimed, and collectors who appreciate America’s ethnic and cultural diversity took to the new series. The first year of the issue featured only one-ounce gold coins, which meant that many collectors were priced out of the market. In 2018, the Mint repeated the same design, but also issued a 1/10 oz. version of the coin.
In 2019 the series is breaking new ground with a hefty silver medal-the first ever 2.5 oz. medal to ever be released by the Mint! The new addition to the collection will not only offer an additional way to appreciate the stunning designs of this edition, but will also make the series accessible to even more collectors. Many of whom will also appreciate the rare opportunity to have a coin, which has a face value, and a medal, which does not, with the same designs.
