The Mercury dime was minted from 1916 to 1945 and features the profile of Lady Liberty wearing a winged cap on the obverse side. Despite the common misconception that the figure is the Roman god Mercury, it is actually Liberty. The reverse showcases a fasces, an ancient Roman symbol of authority, wrapped in an olive branch to signify peace. This iconic design by Adolph A. Weinman is highly regarded for its artistic beauty and historical significance.
