Enlightenment Commemorative Coin
Her official name is "Liberty Enlightening the World," but everyone knows her as the Statue of Liberty. The 151-foot tall, copper-clad beauty was conceived by sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi as a gift from the people of France to the United States for the centennial celebration of America's independence. Officially dedicated on October 28, 1886, she still stands atop her massive granite pedestal on Liberty Island in the middle of New York Harbor.
The star-shaped wall encompassing the statue's pedestal got its pointed configuration from the old fort that once stood in its place. Ironically, the little island that once served as the first line of defense against foreign invasion would become the first glimpse of freedom for millions of immigrants as they arrived in America at nearby Ellis Island
In Liberty's right hand is the Torch of Enlightenment. The torch's flame has a golden finish to shine in the sun and light the way to freedom. Today, the Statue of Liberty is our nation's greatest symbol of freedom, representing the American dream and holding the eternal flame of liberty high for the entire world to see.
