This magnificent high relief piece is the latest release in the American Liberty gold and silver series, designs with contemporary depictions of Liberty. Minted in one troy ounce of .999 pure silver this piece measures 1.598 inches (40.6 mm) in diameter.
This silver medal has the same design as the $100 one-ounce gold coin and has an authorized mintage of 75,000 pieces. Only 5,250 have been designated as Advance Release by the U.S. Mint.
Design
The extremely detailed design features a bristlecone pine, a species native to California, Nevada, and Utah, thought to be the oldest living organisms on Earth, living up to 5,000 years. Bristlecone pines grow in places where other plants cannot and are often the species first to repopulate the land after cataclysmic changes, such as a lava run or glacial runoff. The equally impressive reverse design depicts a young bald eagle standing on a rocky outcropping moments before it takes flight.
Low Mintage
Low mintage and superb eye appeal are key components of coin collecting. Only 75,000 pieces were minted at the Philadelphia Mint and only 5,250 have been designated as Advance Releases by the U.S. Mint.
