The United States Mint, as it steps into its third decade of this program, has taken a groundbreaking approach with the “Preamble to the Declaration of Independence Platinum Proof Coin Series.” For the first time, all new obverse designs have been created concurrently by a single designer, accompanied by a new common reverse design. This three-year series captures the essence of the Declaration of Independence with inscriptions like “Life” in 2018, followed by “Liberty” in 2019, and “Happiness” in 2020. These inscriptions are reminiscent of the handwritten words from the iconic document, bridging the past with the present.

 

The 2018 obverse design is a poignant representation of “Life.” It showcases Lady Liberty guiding a young child in sowing seeds within a field. The sword Lady Liberty wields stands as a symbol of the might to protect and uphold life. The meticulously detailed furrowed earth signifies the foresight and hard work essential for nurturing and sustaining life. Furthermore, the depicted tree and stream are a nod to nature, emphasizing the importance of being responsible guardians of our environment.

 

The reverse side of this coin series features a majestic eagle soaring through the skies, clutching an olive branch in its talons. This design is a timeless representation of peace, strength, and the enduring spirit of America.
