In an email dated March 14, Michael White of the United States Mint’s Office of Corporate Communications released the following design candidates for the obverse and reverse of the American Liberty High Relief Gold coin.

The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) will discuss these and other designs–including candidates for the 2017 American Eagle Platinum Proof coin and the 2017 Boys Town Centennial commemorative coin program–at their public meeting today, March 15. The meeting runs from 9:30 A.M. Eastern Time (ET) to 3:30 P.M. There is a “listen-only” conference number for interested members of the public; dial (866) 564-9287 and follow the prompts to enter access code 62956028.
The open line is “listen-only”, so please be courteous and mute your phone if you do choose to call.
CoinWeek will keep you updated on these designs and the rest of the CCAC’s agenda as the day progresses – be sure to check us out on Twitter and Facebook.
These all appear to be the obverse only of the Coin (C) and Medal (M). Is the reverse from the 2015 coin to be used again in 2017? Also, what is the significance of the 1792-2017 designation? Would that be the 225th anniversary of the US Mint?
Hi Brian,
There was a snafu with the page for a bit but as you can see now the reverse images are showing.
The dual date honors the U.S. Mint as well as the appearance of Lady Liberty on U.S. coins.
I like the HR-0-12-C and HR-R-12-C It would look great.
