2024 Greatest Generation Proof Half Dollar  "The design re-imagines the Victory Medal that was awarded to all who served in the Armed Forces during World War II. The figure of Liberation stands with open arms holding two halves of a broken sword, symbolizing the war's conclusion."* * https://catalog.usmint.gov/greatest...ar-24CE.html

Mexico 50 Pesos 1982 - Coyolxauhqui, the Aztec goddess of the Moon or Milky Way, as discovered in 1978 on a stone disc of 3.25 m in Mexico City.  
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Lady Liberty has been a powerful symbol on coins for centuries; not just in the US, but around the world! Whether it's a classic Morgan dollar, a French Sower, a Liberty Cap coin from Argentina, or any other depiction of Liberty, share your favorites. If you'd like to, feel free to include some history or what you like about the design! I'll start with a classic US coin: 1882-O/S Morgan $1 VAM-4 Recessed S ANACS AU-53 details cleaned
