Historical Significance of the Standing Liberty Design
The original Standing Liberty Quarter, designed by Hermon A. MacNeil, first graced American coinage in 1916. It quickly became celebrated for its artistic beauty and patriotic symbolism, depicting Lady Liberty standing resolute, holding a shield for defense and an olive branch for peace. This design marked a new era of artistic expression in U.S. coinage, part of the "Renaissance of American Coinage" at the turn of the 20th century.
The 2016-W release pays homage to this cherished legacy, reinterpreting MacNeil's masterpiece in a quarter-ounce of radiant gold. It forms part of the United States Mint's special Centennial Gold Coin Series, celebrating three classic coin designs a century after their initial issue.
