Collectible coins encompass a variety of types, including historical coins, commemorative issues, and medals. Medals, unlike traditional coins, are often struck for specific events, achievements, or honors and do not generally circulate as currency. The Libertas Americana Medal, minted in 1783, is a significant piece of American history, celebrating the United States' independence from British rule. Designed by French artist Augustin Dupre, this medal features the allegorical figure of Liberty, symbolizing freedom, and was intended to strengthen ties between France and the newly independent United States. It is highly sought after by collectors for its historical significance and artistry.
