{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}To mark the 225th anniversary of the U.S. Mint in 2017, a special 24-karat gold coin was introduced featuring a contemporary take on the classic Liberty image. Though it includes recognizable American icons like Liberty and the bald eagle, the design brings a new look to these traditional elements. BGASC is now offering the 2017-W 1 oz Proof American Gold 225th Anniversary American Liberty Coin.
Highlights:
Each 2017-W 1 oz High Relief 225th Anniversary American Liberty Gold Coin offered here arrives in a plastic capsule for safekeeping. These coins were part of a 2017 release that celebrated the founding of the United States Mint and introduced a new series of high-purity gold coins featuring modern Liberty designs.
Obverse
The obverse side of the 2017-W High Relief 225th Anniversary American Liberty Gold Coin showcases a new depiction of Liberty, portrayed with African-American features for the first time. She wears a crown of stars, inspired by the Statue of Freedom that stands atop the U.S. Capitol dome. Justin Kunz created the design, and it was sculpted by Mint Sculptor-Engraver Phebe Hemphill.
Reverse
The reverse displays a striking image of a bald eagle in flight, with wings stretched and eyes focused forward. Designed by Chris T. Costello and sculpted by Michael Gaudioso, the image brings energy to the coins reverse. Struck at the West Point Mint in high relief, the coin includes special edge lettering that reads 225th Anniversary and is bordered by starsan uncommon detail in U.S. minting history.
History
The U.S. Mint was officially founded on April 2, 1792, when the Coinage Act was signed into law under President George Washington. This act established the first official mint facility, which was located in Philadelphiathen the capital city. It allowed the United States to start minting its own currency and reduced dependence on foreign coins that were once widely used in the colonies.
