2023-W Platinum Eagle 100 Dollars PR DCAM Freedom of the Press Values
Details
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution Platinum Proof Coin Series features newly designed one-ounce 99.95 percent platinum proof coins. This five-year series (2021-2025) reflects the five freedoms in the First Amendment—"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
This series uses the lifecycle of the oak tree from seedling to a mighty oak as a metaphor for our country's growth as a Nation that values freedom. Liberty grows to a thing of strength and beauty from a seed—our Bill of Rights. Each of the freedoms enumerated in the First Amendment contributes to the growth and development of the Nation.
Obverse: The obverse design depicts a branch from a juvenile oak tree framed with the inscription “WITH FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.” Additional inscriptions are “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” "LIBERTY BEARS FRUIT", and “2023”..
Reverse: Eagle in flight, an olive branch in its talons. Inscriptions are "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "$100," "1 OZ.," and ".9995 PLATINUM."
