A Tribute to a Numismatic Masterpiece

The original Mercury Dime, designed by the celebrated sculptor Adolph A. Weinman, made its debut in 1916 and quickly became one of the most recognizable and cherished designs in U.S. coinage history. Its obverse depicts Liberty adorned with a winged Phrygian cap, often mistaken for the Roman god Mercury, while the reverse features a fasces symbolizing unity and strength, accompanied by an olive branch representing peace.

This 2016-W Gold Mercury Dime is a faithful recreation, struck in .9999 fine gold, allowing collectors to experience Weinman's artistry in a new, precious metal format.
