A Century of American Design: The Mercury Dime Legacy

Its captivating obverse features Lady Liberty donning a winged Phrygian cap, symbolizing freedom of thought, while the reverse displays a fasces entwined with an olive branch, representing strength and peace. In 2016, the U.S. Mint honored this iconic design's centennial by issuing a special series of three gold coins, faithfully recreating Weinman's masterpiece in .9999 fine gold.
