  • Following the popular 2016 Silver medal, which sold out from the U.S. Mint in less than 10 minutes, the anticipated 2017 medal is here. Celebrating the Mint's 225th year anniversary, the Silver medal is a counterpart to the 2017-W American Liberty Gold Proof $100 coin, bearing the same design of Lady Liberty. This set bears a contemporary rendition of Lady Liberty on four 1 oz Silver rounds, each minted in different finishes at a different branch of the United States Mint - Philadelphia (Reverse Proof), Denver (Uncirculated), San Francisco (Proof), and West Point (Enhanced Uncirculated).

    Product Highlights:
    • Each Medal contains 1 oz of .999 fine Silver finished in Proof, Reverse Proof, Enhanced Uncirculated, and Uncirculated.
    • Comes in a U.S. Mint box along with a 225th anniversary tri-fold booklet bearing as the certificate of authenticity and functions as a display stand.
    • Mintage limit not to exceed 50,000 sets.
    • Obverse: Liberty as an African-American woman, wearing a coronet of stars, designed by Justin Kunz and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill. Credit is given to both artists and the medal includes both their initials, “JK” and “PH.”
    • Reverse: A bald eagle in flight designed by artist Chris T. Costello and engraved by Michael Gaudioso. The medal includes the Philadelphia "P" mint mark as well as the initials of the artists, “CTC” and “MG.”
    • Rim: Smooth edges, rather than reeded.
    • Medals are not legal tender.

    Part of the exciting new collection of U.S. Mint Silver Medals, the Commission on Fine Arts (CFA) and the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) were both involved in selecting the new modern design of Lady Liberty. A new design was favored as noted in the comments of CCAC member Donald Scarinci,

    “Show us Liberty in a new and contemporary way, and let’s shed these Civil War symbols, these hundred-year-old symbols that really don’t have the emotional impact to contemporary Americans that they did 100 years ago.”

    Following on those sentiments, Chair Mary Lanin expressed, "We have an opportunity, all of us, to make a difference in applying a new perspective and to broaden the view of Lady Liberty which up to this point has been cast in a European classical mold. There are three things that we should keep in consideration: We should be inclusive of the fact that there are many races that make up the United States. We should be mindful that each of us has our own ideal of what a woman or Liberty should look like, and we may need to broaden that. And we should be sensitive when we make our choice that the characteristics are matching those ideals.”

Excellent addition for anyone's collection!

Proud of the U.S. Mint for doing more to recognize the importance and significance of offerings that commemorate and reflect African American heritage and sacrifice.
