2022 P American Liberty Medal PCGS PR70 First Day of Issue w/Damstra Signature
The United States Mint American Liberty Silver Medal™ celebrates modern interpretations of the concept of American Liberty, exploring the theme beyond the classical tradition of portraits of allegorical “Liberty.” Since its establishment more than 225 years ago, the United States Mint has issued a vast array of coins with the concept of liberty personified by allegorical figures. The 2022 American Liberty Silver Medal offers a different interpretation—a bold and breathtaking representation of the determination and power of the passion for American liberty.
The 2022 American Liberty Silver Medal is composed of one troy ounce of 99.9% silver. The design features a wild American Mustang horse, bucking off a western-style saddle, evoking the throwing off the yoke of British rule during the American Revolution. The horse is centered on a rising sun. Inscriptions are “LIBERTY” and “2022.”
The reverse (tails) depicts a close-up view of an eagle. The inscription is “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”
This piece is certified in perfect PR70 DCAM condition by PCGS and has the coveted First Day of Issue designation signifying it is one of the finest known pieces produced at the Philadelphia Mint on brand new highly polished coin dies that yield the best and sharpest strike and display the brightest and most dazzling original mint luster.
