2026 Standing Liberty Quarter Silver Medal (Best of the Mint Companion)

Coin Details

Description

The 2026 Standing Liberty Quarter Silver Medal is the one-ounce companion piece to the Best of the Mint Standing Liberty Quarter Gold Coin. Designed by Artistic Infusion Program artist Esao Andrews and sculpted by Chief Engraver Joseph F. Menna, this silver medal reimagines Hermon MacNeil's Standing Liberty concept for the modern era. The obverse presents a windswept Liberty extending olive branches toward a distant eagle, her posture conveying both grace and determination. The reverse offers a dramatic close-up of the eagle's talons clutching the olive branches, creating an intimate connection between Liberty's offering of peace and the eagle's acceptance. Struck in one ounce of 99.9% pure silver, this medal bridges over a century of American numismatic artistry, pairing Andrews' contemporary vision with MacNeil's timeless 1916 original.
