OBVERSE DESIGN: The obverse features a refreshed depiction of Adolph A. Weinman's full-length figure of Liberty in full stride, enveloped in folds of the flag, with her right hand extended and branches of laurel and oak in her left. To accomplish this in 2021 The United States Mint returned to its original historical assets to render a closer reflection of Weinman's original vision and includes the addition of his traditional artist mark. Inscriptions are "LIBERTY" and "IN GOD WE TRUST' and "2022".
