2024 Samoa $15 5-oz Silver Light of Liberty Susan Taylor Ultra High Relief Enhanced Reverse Proof NGC PF70 First Day of Issue w/Black Core & Taylor Signature

First 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 Silver 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, Silver Eagles are among the world’s most popular and heavily collected silver 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 hotly anticipated three-part series with designs created by some 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 the first release in the series—a five-ounce coin struck in highly pure 99.9% fine silver designed by Susan Taylor featuring a dynamic image of Lady Liberty bearing a torch with an American flag in the background. Reminiscent of Adolph Wineman’s Classic 1916–1947 Half Dollar “Walking Liberty” design that graces the obverse of the Silver Eagle, you’ll notice a rising sun in the background, its rays illuminating the dawn of a bright new day. The coin’s obverse, which shows a Flaying Eagle, was designed by John Mercanti.

Extraordinary Ultra High Relief And Amazing Enhanced Reverse Proof Finish

Not only has this coin been struck in extraordinary Ultra High Relief (UHR) with detail so intricate that the designs seem like they’re leaping from their surfaces, but it also features a jaw-dropping Enhanced Reverse Proof finish comprised of a frosty field and a variety of polished and frosted finishes on the design. It’s 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.
