USA celebrates 2024 COTY award at home: i 100 dollar gold coin on the theme “Freedom Through Perseverance”

It was actually the overall winner of the Coin of the Year competition, whose awards ceremony was held on August 8 in Rosemont, Illinois, in association with the World Money Fair.
The United States celebrated a 2024 COTY award at home: the $100 gold coin on the theme “Freedom Through Perseverance”. It was actually the overall winner of the Coin of the Year competition, whose awards ceremony was held on 8 August in Rosemont, Illinois, in conjunction with the World Money Fair and by the American Numismatic Society.
The Coin of the Year programme is organised by the magazine World Currency News to recognise and promote currency design and innovation worldwide. The 2024 COTY Award was funded by the World’s Money Fair and by the Journal of East Asian Numismatics.
The coins dated 2023 were divided into ten categories and judged by an international panel of experts (our director for Italy Roberto Canganelli).
A thousand-year-old pine, symbol of perseverance
The obverse of the winning coin depicts a majestic bristlecone pine, native to California, Nevada, and Utah. One of the oldest organisms on earth, a tree can live up to 5,000 years. The bristlecone pines grow in places where many plants do not find the conditions to survive and are the first species to repopulate the Earth after catastrophic changes such as volcanic eruptions or glaciation.
The 2024 COTY Prize-winning coin was sculpted by Joseph Menna and designed by the engraver Elena Hagler. The obverse depicts a young bald eagle standing on a rocky outcrop, caught before flight. Art credits go to John B. McGraw.
This $100 – which won COTY as the most beautiful gold coin – is the sixth issued in the American Liberty series by the US Mint. Since its debut in 2015, the American Liberty Gold Coin and Silver Medal programme includes coins and medals with modern depictions of liberty in various figurative forms. The front features different versions of the eagle, the national animal of the United States.
Nearly 600 coins are competing for the 2024 COTY prize
“Recent voting for the 2024 COTY prize was very close, with the top five coins separated by just ten votes,” said Tom Michael, Tournament Coordinator.
The selection process for the 2024 COTY Prize began with a record number of entries: nearly 600 coins were screened by the nominations committee. COTY 100: 10 coins in 10 denominations. An international panel of judges voted to determine the winning coin for each category, and the jury chose the overall winner.
“It’s always exciting to see the awards process unfold,” said Maggie Paul, Co-ordinator of COTY. “The best in global coin design and innovation emerge from the various categories, and the competition concludes with a final vote for the champion. This has happened in every edition for 41 years.”
All coins are offered denomination wise
Although they enter COTY 100, the Ticks from the Italian region – despite offering some coins to be released in 2023 – were left out of the list of winners. Here are the winning coins for each category, along with our personal opinion.
