2024 Samoa Silver & Gold Light of Liberty Natanya Van Niekerk Ultra High Relief Enhanced Reverse Proof 3-pc Set NGC PF70 First Day of Issue w/Black Core & Van Niekerk Signature

Second Release In Light Of Liberty Trilogy

The Statue of Liberty is an iconic symbol known throughout the world. To the millions of immigrants who sailed past the colossal statue in New York Harbor, she embodied hope, opportunity, and freedom. A physical, albeit large representation of Lady Liberty, her 100th anniversary inspired the U.S. Mint's wildly successful Gold Eagle coin program that debuted in 1986. With a reverse image designed by the incomparable John Mercanti, the former 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint, Gold Eagles are among the world's most popular and heavily collected gold coins.

A World View Of America's Lady Liberty

But how does the rest of the world view America's Lady Liberty? The answer is being revealed in a three-part series with designs created by a trio of the world's most dynamic designers: The Royal Mint of Great Britain's Jody Clark, The Royal Canadian Mint's Susan Taylor, and the South African Mint's Natanya Van Niekerk. Here you can secure coins from second release in the series in this three-piece set that consists of two- and five-ounce coins struck in highly pure 99.9% fine silver and a one-ounce coin struck in 99.9% pure gold–all designed by Natanya Van Niekerk that feature a majestic image of Lady Liberty striding forward alongside a river with her torch illuminating the sky. Trailing behind in her wake are the Big Five animals of Africa in a nod to Van Niekerk's most famous work, the designs for the South African Mint's Big Five series coins. During her legendary career, Van Niekerk has won 20 coin design awards, including three Coin of the Year (COTY) awards and the COTY Lifetime Achievement Award.

Extraordinary Ultra High Relief And Amazing Enhanced Reverse Proof Finish

Not only have these coins been struck in extraordinary Ultra High Relief (UHR) with detail so intricate that the designs seem like they're leaping from their surfaces, but they also feature a jaw-dropping Enhanced Reverse Proof finish comprised of a frosty field and a variety of polished and frosted finishes on the design. Together, they're a glittering masterpiece and a stirring tribute to America, Lady Liberty, and the millions of people who packed up lock, stock, and barrel to seek a better life in the United States.
