USA 2016 Platinum Eagle $100 coin Reverse

The reverse design is a refreshingly innovative and beautiful, with a streak of classicism. The coin shows a depiction of Liberty holding a torch in her right hand, and an olive branch in her left. This symbolizes enlightenment and peace. There are thirteen olives on the branch meant to represent the Thirteen Original Colonies. To the lower left a bald eagle is flying with its wings out–stretched. The reverse of the coin was designed by United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program Designer Paul C. Balan and sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor–Engraver Joseph Menna. The reverse legend reads : “ UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”, “4100”. To the lower left, along the rim, appear the words “.9995 PLATINUM 1OZ”. The coin's mintmark is a capital “W” just below the olive branch to the right, indicating that the coin was struck at the West Point Mint.
 
The obverse design is the now familiar “portrait of liberty” design by John Mercanti which depicts Lady Liberty gazing into the future. The words “LIBERTY”, “IN GOD WE TRUST and “E PLURIBUS UNUM” appears alongside the date of issue “2016”.
