The 2017 $100 American Liberty High Relief Gold Coin represents an outstanding achievement in contemporary American medallic art. Issued in honor of the 225th anniversary of the founding of the United States Mint (1792–2017), this coin marked a historic chapter in the depiction of national allegories. For the first time on an official U.S. gold coin, Lady Liberty is portrayed as an African-American woman adorned with a crown of radiant stars, reflecting the nation's rich cultural and ethnic diversity. Each coin is struck from 1 ounce of .9999 pure gold at the West Point Mint. Combining high-relief minting technology with a mirror-like Proof finish gives the design exceptional depth, sculpted dimension, and visual brilliance. Adding further numismatic distinction, the coin features a smooth edge with incuse lettering and stars. Due to its limited mintage and landmark design, this issue enjoys enduring demand among collectors and precious metals investors worldwide.
