The 5 oz Copper Libertas Americana 2026 brings one of the most famous designs in North American numismatic art back to life, combining historical heritage with modern minting artistry. For lovers of extraordinary exclusive collector's coins with low mintages, this piece is a true feast for the eyes.
The History Behind the Design
The original Libertas Americana medal was commissioned in 1782 by Benjamin Franklin to honour the American victories at Saratoga (1777) and Yorktown (1781). French medallist Augustin Dupré created a work that not only celebrated the young American nation, but also set the style for subsequent US coin minting – in particular for the famous "Flowing Hair" dollars of 1794/1795.
"The Libertas Americana is considered by numismatists to be one of the most beautiful and historically significant medals ever struck."
The Obverse: Lady Liberty in Full Splendour
On the obverse, one is greeted by what is perhaps the most iconic portrait of freedom: a young Liberty with hair flowing freely in the wind, behind her the liberty cap on a pole. The inscriptions "LIBERTY" and "LIBERTAS AMERICANA MEDAL" run around the edge, complemented by the date "4 JUIL. 1776" – the birth of the United States. Stars line the rim, lending the design an almost majestic aura.
The Reverse: Allegory of Freedom
The reverse depicts an artfully staged allegory: Minerva as protector defends the young Hercules – a symbol of the young American Republic – against an attacking lion representing the British Crown. Alongside this stands the coat of arms of Liberia with the motto "The Love of Liberty Brought Us Here". The Latin inscription "NON SINE DIIS ANIMOSUS INFANS" – "Not without divine assistance is the courageous child" – lends the scene additional depth.
Proof – the Supreme Discipline of the Minting Art
The Proof execution makes every coin a small work of art. Mirror-polished surfaces meet frosted, three-dimensional reliefs – a contrast that showcases the delicate hairwork of Liberty and the dynamic scene on the reverse to particularly impressive effect. With its 65 mm diameter, the coin unfolds an almost monumental presence in the hand.
