Interesting fact

The 2016 Mercury Dime Gold Commemorative coin is a unique and interesting piece because it features a design that was originally created by sculptor Adolph A. Weinman in 1916 for the Mercury Dime, which was a circulating coin at the time. The design was used on the Mercury Dime until 1945, and it has since become a beloved and iconic symbol of American coinage. The fact that this design was revived for a modern, non-circulating coin made of gold is a testament to its enduring popularity and historical significance.
