Information about effigy: Liberty (United States)

Liberty (United States)

Many coins of the United States feature the image of Liberty - a symbolic female personification of the concept of liberty. She is variously depicted as standing, seated, or just a portrait. There is no "definitive" depiction - new ones are developed for various denominations or coin ranges.

The figure of Liberty on U.S. coins is officially referenced as just "Liberty" in legislative and mint documents. The terms "Lady Liberty" and "Miss Liberty" are colloquial or descriptive labels used in public discourse and numismatic contexts, and not official designations. "Lady Liberty" seems to be more popular, although "Miss" would seem more appropriated in the American context of having no aristocracy or aristocratic titles.
