Struck at the United States Mint facilities in West Point.
In honor of the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence, the Mint curated a list of 21 historic coins spanning our Nation’s history, from its founding in 1792 into the 21st century.
Following public input and expert recommendations, five Best of the Mint coins were selected.
The Best of the Mint is a series of 24 karat reissued gold coins.
The selected coins include: the 1916 Mercury Dime, the 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter Dollar, the 1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollar, the 1804 Silver Dollar, and the 1907 Saint-Gaudens High Relief $20 Gold Coin.
The 1916 Mercury Dime Gold Coin is the first of the Best of the Mint semiquincentennial series.
The 1916 Mercury Dime Gold Coin’s obverse (heads) depicts Liberty in profile facing left, wearing a winged cap symbolizing freedom of thought.
Inscriptions are “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “1916.” To commemorate the semiquincentennial of our Nation’s founding, the coin features a unique Liberty Bell privy mark with the numeral “250.”
The coin's reverse (tails) depicts a fasces (a bundle of rods) to symbolize strength through unity.
The battle ax and the olive branch represent America’s military readiness and the desire for peace. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “ONE DIME.”
