Historical Significance of the Standing Liberty Design

The original Standing Liberty Quarter, designed by Hermon A. MacNeil, debuted in 1916, marking a pivotal period in American coinage aesthetics. It replaced the Barber Quarter and quickly became a beloved representation of Liberty, depicted holding a shield for protection and an olive branch for peace. The 2016 Centennial Gold Coin masterfully recreates this classic design, honoring MacNeil’s artistic vision and its enduring legacy.
