Historical Significance of the American Liberty High Relief Series
The 2015 American Liberty High Relief Gold Coin debuted as a groundbreaking issue from the United States Mint. Its design, a contemporary interpretation of Liberty by Justin Kunz and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill, offers a striking departure from traditional portrayals. The coin's most notable feature is its deeply sculpted, high-relief strike, reminiscent of classic coin art forms like the 1907 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. This innovation, combined with its status as the first U.S. coin struck with a $100 denomination in 24-karat gold, cemented its place in numismatic history. It embodies a blend of artistic excellence and modern minting achievement.
