The Design
The obverse, designed by Justin Kunz, showcases a young Lady Liberty wearing a wreath crown and holding a torch in one hand and the American flag on a pole in the other. The word “LIBERTY” arches over the image, the year of issuance is on the lower left, and the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST” is at the bottom.
On the reverse, the Bald Eagle, created by Paul C. Balan, flies with an olive branch on its talons. The image also includes the inscription “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” on top, the “W” mint mark from West Point on the left, the motto “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and the coin’s information regarding weight, purity, metal content, and face value which read “1 OZ .9999 FINE GOLD,” and “ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS.”
Because of the high relief, the images imprinted present depth and height, as the design elements surpass the coin’s edges.
