The Statue of Liberty in New York is one of the most famous landmarks in the United States. It was ceremonially dedicated in 1886 as a gift from France to the USA. For the United States, it remains a powerful symbol of freedom, hope, and immigration, as it was the first visible sign of a new beginning and new opportunities for countless people who came to the country via Ellis Island. Even today, it stands as a symbol of American values.
The coin’s design perfectly reflects the importance of this icon. Thanks to the smartminting® technique, the Statue of Liberty appears to be enthroned on the coin, almost as if it were minted. A combination of matte and polished surfaces, along with the fact that it extends to the edge of the coin in several places, creates a truly unique effect.
The phrase “E pluribus unum” (out of many, one) on the coin’s edge has a very special meaning for the United States of America. It symbolizes that a single state was formed from the original 13 individual colonies and appears on many American coins.
The background depicts the Manhattan skyline against a delicate guilloche pattern, symbolizing the splendor of this famous borough. The enamel provides the aesthetic finishing touch, uniquely separating the Statue of Liberty from the rest of the coin and intentionally making it the true eye-catcher. A very successful modern interpretation of a timeless icon.
