2022 American Liberty Silver Medal
Background
The 2022 American Liberty Silver Medal shares the same design as the 2021 American Liberty High Relief Gold Coin. They are part of the American Liberty Gold Coin and Silver Medal Program. The program features modern renditions of the concept of liberty.
The 2022 American Liberty medal and the 2021 coin explore the theme beyond the classical portraits of the allegorical figure of Liberty. The obverse design features a bucking American Mustang horse. The interpretation is a bold representation of the determination and power of the passion for American liberty.
Characteristics
The obverse features Liberty as a wild American Mustang horse, bucking off a western style saddle. It evokes the throwing off of the yoke of British rule during the American Revolution. The horse is centered on a rising sun.
The reverse depicts a close-up view of an eagle with an open beak.
