Description

This 2017-P American Liberty Medal was produced at the Philadelphia Mint as part of the 225th Anniversary of the United States Mint Set. Philadelphia holds particular significance as the original and longest-operating U.S. Mint facility, established in 1792 as the first building erected under the authority of the new federal government. The "P" mint mark on this 225th anniversary medal connects it directly to the mint facility where American coinage began. The Philadelphia Mint has produced more coins and medals than any other facility in the history of the U.S. Mint, making the Philadelphia version of the anniversary set especially meaningful. This medal pairs the American Liberty design with the mint mark of the facility that has been the heart of American coinage for over two centuries.
