Description
The 2017-W American Liberty High Relief Gold Coin is a testament to the enduring power of American ideals and values. The coin’s obverse features a striking depiction of Lady Liberty, a symbol of freedom and opportunity that has been an important part of American culture since the nation’s founding.
Lady Liberty has taken many forms over the years, appearing on everything from coins and stamps to monuments and buildings. In this coin, she is portrayed as an African American woman for the first time with her hair flowing freely and a crown of stars atop her head, symbolizing the infinite possibilities that come with freedom.
The coin’s reverse features a majestic eagle, another symbol that holds great significance in American history and culture. The eagle is depicted with its wings spread wide and its talons clutching an olive branch and arrows, symbolizing the dual nature of America’s power as both a protector and a peacemaker.
The coin was minted in West Point, New York, by the United States Mint. The coin’s limited mintage of just 100,000 pieces adds to its rarity and collectibility, making it a prized possession for any collector of American numismatic art. Each coin is presented in a black velvet case and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from the United States Mint, guaranteeing its authenticity and quality.
The 2017-W American Liberty High Relief Gold Coin is a beautiful and significant piece of American history and art. It embodies the ideals and values that have made America a beacon of hope and opportunity for people around the world, and serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring power of these ideals.
