The Design
The obverse showcases Lady Liberty as a warrior, carrying a shield and an olive branch, as she walks through an opening in a wall adorned with the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST” and 13 stars, representing the Thirteen Original Colonies.
The accompanying engravings are "LIBERTY" on top, "AU24K," and "1/4 oz.," referring to gold content and weight, and "2016," standing for the year of mintage. The “W” mint mark is discreetly engraved on the lower left, and the artist's initials are mirrored on the opposite side.
The reverse features a flying Bald Eagle, encircled by inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “QUARTER DOLLAR,” and again, thirteen stars. The motto “E PLURIBUS UNUM” lies above the eagle.
Mintage
In 2016, the US Mint celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Mercury Silver Dime, the Standing Liberty Silver Quarter, and the Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar by issuing a limited series of Gold Coins replicating these iconic designs.
The 1/4 oz Standing Liberty Gold Quarter Dollar Coin is the second design in the series.
This quarter-dollar coin is minted from 1/4 Troy oz of 99.99% pure gold and is recognized as legal tender. Issued by the West Point branch of the US Mint, it features a “W” mint mark on the obverse and was produced in a limited edition of 91,752 coins.
