Description

This 2016-S American Liberty Medal is part of the U.S. Mint's modern American Liberty series, which reimagines the iconic figure of Liberty for the twenty-first century. The 2016 design made history by depicting Liberty as an African American woman for the first time on a U.S. Mint product, sparking both celebration and debate about the evolving visual representation of American ideals. The "S" mint mark indicates production at the San Francisco Mint, known for its proof and premium coin production. The American Liberty series was authorized to explore new artistic interpretations of Liberty, Freedom, and other national themes beyond the constraints of circulating coinage design requirements. This medal represents the U.S. Mint's commitment to reflecting the diversity of the American people in its artistic output.
