In 2016, the U.S. mint marked the centenary anniversary of three numismatic icons with the release of the 1/10 oz Mercury Dime, 1/4 oz Standing Liberty Quarter, and the 1/2 oz Walking Liberty Half Dollar Centennial Gold Coins. Each of these coins features an allegorical representation of Liberty being the last design of each denomination to do so. The mint's goal is to match each Gold coin to the size and diameter of their original Silver coin from 1916. Plans are to issue business strikes only, meaning no proof or uncirculated versions will be issued. This set includes:

Mercury Dime:
The original Mercury Dime was struck from 1916-1945.

• Obverse: Adolph A. Weinman's design depicts a young Liberty with a winged Phrygian cap reminiscent of the Roman god Mercury.
• Reverse: Features an olive branch and a fasces (a bound bundle of wood including an axe blade emerging). To the right of the fasces is AU 24K 1/10 OZ.

Standing Liberty Quarter:
The original Standing Liberty quarter was struck from 1916-1930.

• Obverse: Hermon MacNeil's design features a militaristic Lady Liberty holding a shield and olive branch walking through an opening in a wall bearing 13 stars. Inscriptions are "LIBERTY", "IN GOD WE TRUST", "AU 24K","1/4 OZ." and "2016".
• Reverse: Depicts an eagle in flight with its wings outstretched. The eagle is flanked by 13 stars, seven on the left and six on the right. This was the original design by Hermon A. MacNeil.

Walking Liberty Half:
The Walking Liberty Half Dollar was designed by Adolph A. Weinman and was struck from 1916-1947.

• Obverse: Adolph A. Weinman’s classic design of Lady Liberty draped in an American flag, carrying branches of laurel and oak, symbolizing both civil and military glory.
