Treasury and Mint officials of the United States unveiled the 2017 American Liberty High Relief Gold Coin portraying lady Liberty as a woman of colour, according to NBC news. The coin is in celebration of the US Mint and Treasury’s 225th anniversary and for the first time an African-American is on the U.S. currency. All coins are required to feature either in words or images an “impression emblematic of liberty”, since the Coinage Act was passed in 1972. The new $100 coin designed by Justin Kunz was unveiled by Elisa Basnight, U.S. Mint chief of staff, featuring Lady Liberty as a black woman. Lady Liberty has always been portrayed as a white woman. “As we as a nation continue to evolve, so does liberty’s representation,” Basnight said at the occasion unveiling the new coin. “We live in a nation that affords us the opportunity to dream big and try to accomplish the seemingly impossible.” The new coin, a 24-karat gold coin and is targeted for a release in April 2017 and is meant primarily for collectors. It is one of a series of new, diverse commemorative coins the Mint plans to unveil in future years. The U.S Mint chief promised that future depictions of Lady Liberty will feature designs representing Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, Indian Americans and others in order to reflect the cultural and ethnic diversity of the United States
