The Statue of Liberty is one of the most iconic landmarks in the United States, located on Liberty Island in New York Harbour. It was a gift from France to the United States in 1886, and it has since become a symbol of freedom and democracy. The statue, which stands at a height of 305 feet (93 meters), depicts a robed female figure holding a torch in one hand and a tablet inscribed with the date of the American Declaration of Independence in the other.
The statue was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and its metal framework was built by Gustave Eiffel, who also designed the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The statue was constructed in France and shipped to the United States in 1885, where it was reassembled on its pedestal on Liberty Island. The statue was unveiled on October 28, 1886, in a ceremony attended by President Grover Cleveland and thousands of spectators.
Today, the Statue of Liberty is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States, with millions of visitors each year. Visitors can take a ferry to Liberty Island to tour the statue and its pedestal, as well as visit the nearby Ellis Island Immigration Museum, which tells the story of the millions of immigrants who passed through the island on their way to the United States. The statue is also visible from various points in New York City, including Battery Park and the Brooklyn Bridge.
This 24 carat gold-plated coin is presented in exquisite full colour detail with quality craftsmanship on an oversize 50mm coin that captures the essence of the location.
The legal tender coin features the effigy of King Charles III on the obverse making it a true collectors item and a must-have for anyone who loves the United States and its rich cultural heritage.
