Weinman in 1916 and celebrated for its enduring elegance. The figure of Liberty strides forward, wrapped in the American flag and carrying a torch, symbolizing freedom and progress. This example is believed to be in Almost Uncirculated condition, showing only slight wear that preserves much of the original detail and luster. The year is etched in Roman numerals on the front. Produced during a period when the U.S. Mint renewed interest in classic designs for its bullion series, the coin reflects both a connection to early 20th-century artistry and the evolving role of gold in modern American coinage.
