If any coin design deserved a tribute, it's the gorgeous Winged Liberty design on the Mercury dime. It is still considered one of the most gorgeous and iconic designs to ever grace American coinage. These 2 oz Mercury Dime Tribute High-Relief Silver Rounds celebrate this famed design with a fresh take on it.
These silver rounds from Intaglio Mint seeks to commemorate the Winged Liberty design that graced the Mercury Dime between the years of 1916 and 1945. This design was misinterpreted by people, who assumed it featured Mercury, the Roman God who was famous for wearing similarly winged headgear. Even though Adolph Weinman, the artist who created this design, later clarified that the image was indeed of Lady Liberty wearing a winged cap, the name 'Mercury Dime' has stuck to this day.
Each of these rounds contains 2 troy ounces of 0.999 pure silver.
The obverses feature the work of Mark Bogani, the artist who took Weinman's original image and enhanced it further with an ultra high-relief design. The words 'In God We Trust' are also imprinted on this side of the silver round.Â
On the other hand, the reverses display The Fasces, a bundle of wooden sticks with an axe sticking out, signifying strength in unity and collective power. In fact, the now-distateful word 'fascist' was derived from the name of this symbol when Benito Mussolini used its ideals to justiy the formation of the National Fascist Party in Italy.Â
Celebrate the glorious work of Adolph A. Weinman with the famed Winged Liberty design as seen on Mercury Dimes for several decades. These 2 oz Mercury Dime Tribute High Relief Silver Rounds from Intaglio will make fine additions to any precious metals portfolio or collection.
