The Standing Liberty Quarter design pays homage to one of our Nation's most beloved coins. This timeless beauty helped bring about a renaissance in American coinage in 1916 and has become a cornerstone of American numismatics, cherished by collectors for over a century.

The coins bear a special Semiquincentennial Liberty Bell privy mark with the numeral “250” and has a 1 oz. silver companion medal, featuring new and modern designs, inspired by the 24-karat gold coins.
